A taxi fare has a fixed charge of $1.75 and an additional charge $0.45 per mile. A fare for m miles is $13.90. Which equation could be used to find m miles?

Responses

A 1.75(13.90 + m) = 1

B 1.75 + 0.45m = 13.90

C 0 45 + 1.75m = 13.90

D (0.45 + 11.20)m = 1.75

The correct equation could be:

C) 0.45 + 1.75m = 13.90
