If the total cost of a taxi ride is $39.75, how many miles was the ride?

Sagot :

MrRoyal

The taxi ride is an illustration of a linear proportional equation

The taxi ride was 13.25 miles

How to determine the number of miles

From the question, we have:

  • Total cost = $39.75
  • Cost per mile = $3.00

The number of miles (n) is the quotient of the total cost of the ride, and the cost per mile.

So, we have:

n = 39.75/3.00

Evaluate the quotient

n = 13.25

Hence, the ride was 13.25 miles
