Answer:
12 miles
Explanation:
Given that,
Pick up fees charge by the city cabs = $1.50
Cost per mile traveled = $1.75
Diego's fare for a cross-town cab ride = $22.50
Let the distance traveled by the Diego be x,
So, the total fare is as follows,
= Pick up fees + Cost per mile traveled
= 1.50 + 1.75x
Total fare = 1.50 + 1.75x
22.50 = 1.50 + 1.75x
22.50 - 1.50 = 1.75x
21 = 1.75x
12 = x
Therefore, he traveled 12 miles.
