Leo took an Uber to get to football practice. Uber charged $1.25 per mile (m) and he gave the driver a $5.00 tip. If the total trip was $16.25, how many miles did he travel to football practice?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the uber charges $1.25 per mile

and that Leo also gave a tip of $5

the function for the total charge is given as

y=mx+c

Step two:

we will use the notation m for the number of miles traveled

given that the total trip is $16.25

16.25=1.25m+5

solving for m we have

16.25-5=1.25m

11.25=1.25m

divide both sides by 1.25

m=11.25/1.25

m=9

So he travelled 9miles

2 5/8 is the final answer! : )
