The cost of a taxi ride is $1.6 for the first mile and $1.45 for each additional mile or part thereof. Find the maximum distance we can ride if we have $65.4. Enter your answer as an integer or a decimal. If needed, round to the nearest tenths of miles.

Respuesta :

The maximum distance we can ride is 45 miles.

Explanation:

One of those miles is the initial one of $1.60, and the 44 other miles are for $1.45 each. So, you would multiply 1.45 by 44 and add 1.6 for the first mile.

1.45 x 44 + 1.6 = 65.4
