Alex and his father took a taxi cab that charges $2.60 per mile plus $1.50 for each passenger, and they paid a total of $18.60

Answer 1

Let's assume the distance they traveled is represented by "m" miles and the number of passengers is represented by "p."

According to the given information, the cost of the taxi ride is $2.60 per mile plus $1.50 for each passenger. Therefore, the total cost of the ride can be calculated using the following equation:

2.60m + 1.50p = 18.60

However, we don't have any information regarding the distance or the number of passengers. Therefore, we need more information to solve this problem.
