Toll is $1.00 for car and driver each additional passenger is ,75 cents the toll was $3.25 how many people were riding in car?

Answer 1

Let's call the number of additional passengers "x".
The toll for the car and driver is $1.00, so we have: 1 + x passengers.
The toll for each additional passenger is $0.75, so the rest of the toll, $3.25 - $1.00 = $2.25, must account for the additional passengers' tolls.
We can set up the equation: 1 + 0.75x = 2.25.
Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get: 0.75x = 1.25.
Dividing both sides by 0.75, we find x = 1.67.
Since we can't have a fraction of a passenger, we have to round down.
Thus, there were 1 additional passenger riding in the car.
Adding the car driver, the total number of people riding in the car is 1 + 1 = 2. Answer: \boxed{2}.
