Asked by Amy

A taxi service charges a $1.90 fee for each ride plus an additional .80 per mile. If a taxi ride cost $4.30, how many miles did the taxi travel travel during the ride?

Im not sure where to start
Answered by Ms. Sue
Start with the fee for each ride.

What do you need to add to it?

Answered by Amy
IS this correct?

1.90+.80+.80+.80=$4.30
Answered by Ms. Sue
But you don't know how many miles the taxi traveled.

1.90 + 0.80x = 4.30

0.8x = 2.40

x = 3 miles
