To take a taxi, it costs \$3.00 plus an additional \$2.00per mile traveled. you spent exactly \$20 on a taxi, which includes the \$1 tip you left. how many miles did you travel

 A taxi ride where the total fare is $3, $2 for every mile travelled plus a $1 tip and the original cost of $20.

First write a formula that expresses the cost of the ride:

Total cost= Flat fee + Mileage + Tip

Now let's drop in what we know:

20= 3+2 (miles) +1 - we know the total cost is 20, the fee of 3, the tip of 1 and the cost per mile of 2. The only thing we don't know is the number of miles. So let's solve for that.

Subtract 3 and 1 from both sides to get:

16=2(miles)

Divide both sides by 2:

8=miles
Therefore, you traveled 8 miles.

Answer for 2: his profit would be $2.88 explanation: you have to first multiply 72 and 0.12 together to get $8.64 once you do that you know how much money the shopkeeper made from selling the candy bars individually. so you have to do 8.64-5.76=2.88 hope that ; )answer for 3: yeah i’m sorry i have no idea what number 3 is. i’m sorry i couldn’t with that.
