Madison took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $3.20 plus $5 per mile. The total fare was $98.20, not including the tip. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine
m
m, the number of miles in the taxi ride.

Respuesta :

Answer:

19 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b  

y = the total cost

m = the number of miles

x = the cost per mile

b = pick-up fee

98.20 = m(5) + 3.20   Subtract 3.20 from 98.2

95 = 5m divide both sides by 5

19 = m
