A taxi company charges $2 for the first mile and then $0.25 per mile each additional mile. If Lupita's fare was $4.50, how many miles did she travel in the taxi?

Respuesta :

Answer:

11 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

4.50 - 2.00 = 2.50 /.25 =10

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

The first mile is charged $2. She has $2.50 (i.e. 4.50-2) left. Thereafter, she is charged $0.25 / mile. The entire miles  

2.50 /0.25 =10 .

Total miles = 10 + 1 = 11.
