A cab ride costs $3.25 for the first half-mile and $0.70 for each mile after the first half-mile. how far can someone travel for $12? 9 miles 9 miles 13 miles 13 miles 14 miles 14 miles 26 miles 26 miles

Respuesta :

The total miles that can be traveled for $2 is 13.5 miles.

Let the number of- miles that can be traveled be m

As per the given information, 3.25+0.70(m−1)=12

⇒3.25+0.7m−0.7=12

⇒2.55+0.7m=12

⇒0.7m=9.45

⇒m=13.5

Hence1, the total miles that can be traveled for $2 is 13.5 miles.

our your $12 and give the cabby $3.25 as soon as you have traveled a half-mile, you now have 12-3.25=8.75 dollars left. Then when you have traveled another mile from that point, you give him $0.70. You now have 8.75-0.70=8.05 dollars left. Then you do this every mile until you don't have enough money to pay for another mile. How many times do you get to pay the cabby $0.70? This is the number of miles you have traveled, plus the half-mile you paid for at first.
