Conrad taxi service charges $1.50 for the first mile and $0.90 for each additional mile.
-How far can Mr. Kulp go for $20 if he gives the driver a $2 tip.
-Write a let statement; represent the additional miles in terms of the total travelled.
-Write an equation.
1.5 + .9m = (20-2)

To find out how far Mr. Kulp can go for $20, we need to subtract the tip amount from the total fare and then calculate the number of additional miles he can travel.
First, let's subtract the tip from $20:
$20 - $2 (tip) = $18
Next, let's write a "let" statement to represent the additional miles in terms of the total traveled. Let's say "x" represents the additional miles:
Let x be the additional miles.
Now, let's write an equation to calculate the fare:
Fare = $1.50 (for the first mile) + $0.90 (for each additional mile)
The equation can be expressed as:
Fare = $1.50 + $0.90x
Since Mr. Kulp can go for $18 in total, we can substitute the fare amount into the equation:
$18 = $1.50 + $0.90x
To find out how far Mr. Kulp can go, we need to solve this equation for x.
