Mariam took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-
up fee of $2.90 plus $1.25 per mile. The total fare was $6.65, not including the tip.
Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine m, the number of miles
in the taxi ride.

Sagot :

The equation illustrates that the number of miles will be 3 miles.

How to compute the value?

The taxi company charged a pick- up fee of $2.90 plus $1.25 per mile.

Let the number of miles be m.

Therefore, this will be:

2.90 + (1.25 × m) = 6.65

2.90 + 1.25m = 6.65

Collect like terms

1.25m = 6.65 - 2.90

1.25m = 3.75

m = 3.75/1.25

m = 3

The number of miles is 3 miles.
