A taxi charges 1.80 per mile with an initial fee of 12.00 how far can you go with 50.00
12 + 1.8m < 50
Solve for m.
(5.23×10 7th)
Make an equation out of the information given. You're going to have one of those values above set equal to an equation with a variable and you want to see how large you can make that variable without going above the constant you've set your equation to:
y = ax + b
That's your format.
To find out how far you can go with $50.00, you need to consider the initial fee of $12.00 plus the cost per mile.
Let's subtract the initial fee from the total amount you have: $50.00 - $12.00 = $38.00.
This $38.00 represents the total amount available to pay for the miles traveled. Since the taxi charges $1.80 per mile, we can divide the remaining amount by the cost per mile to determine how many miles you can go.
$38.00 ÷ $1.80 = 21.11 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, you can travel approximately 21.11 miles with $50.00, considering the initial fee and the cost per mile.
