Answer:
The distance between airport and Ann's home is 21 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Ann took a taxi home from the airport. The taxi fare was $2.10 per mile, and she gave the driver a tip of $5. Ann paid a total of $49.10. we have to find the equation to determine the distance in miles between the airport and Ann's home.
Let the distance between airport and Ann's home be x miles.
Given, Total fare = $2.10/mile
Tip given = $5
Total money given=$49.10
∴ Equation can be written as
(Taxi fare per mile)(distance)+tip = total money given
⇒ [tex]2.10x+5=49.10[/tex]
⇒ [tex]2.10x=44.1[/tex] ⇒ x=21
Hence, the distance between airport and Ann's home is 21 miles
