Question

Mrs. Dobbs rides a taxi that charges a flat rate of $6.75 plus $3.20 per mile. The taxi charges Lupita $40.03 in total for her trip.

Answer 1

Lupita drove 10.4 Miles for her trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

40.03 - 6.75 = 33.28 dollars left

33.28 ÷ 3.20 = 10.4 Miles

Answer 2

Subtract the flat rate from the total, then divide by price per mile for total miles:

40.03 - 6.75 = 33.28

33.28/3.20 = 10.4 miles.
