A taxi service charges a flat fee of $1.25 and $0.75 per mile. If Henri has $14.00, which of the following shows the number of miles he can afford to ride in the taxi?
Question
Answer:
You want to get the total amount Henri has which is $14 then subtract the flat fee. 14-1.25=12.75, He has $12.75 left to pay for miles, Since the taxi charges .75 a mile, you get $12.75/.75= 17
Henri has enough to pay to ride 17 miles.
Hope this helps
