Answer:
4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Charges for the first [tex]\frac{1}2[/tex] mile = $3.50
Tip given to driver = $4
Charges for additional 0.1 mile = $0.50
Total money available = $25
To find:
Total number of miles that a person can ride?
Solution:
Let us have a look at the money left after charges for the first [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] mile and tip.
[tex]\Rightarrow \$3.50 + \$4 = \$7.50[/tex]
Money left = $25 - $7.50 = $17.50
$0.50 is required for the distance = 0.1 mile
$1 is required for the distance = 0.2 miles
$17.50 is required for the distance = 0.2 [tex]\times[/tex] $17.50 = 3.5 miles
Total distance traveled = First half mile + Distance traveled with the amount of money remaining as calculated above. = 0.5 + 3.5 = 4 miles
