Given:
Tammy takes a taxi home from the airport. The taxi fare is 3.10 per mile and she gives the driver a tip of 14.00. Tammy pays a total of 91.50
Determine the distance in miles between Tammy's home and the airport.
Solution:
To do so, we subtract 14 to 91.50, then we divide the difference by 3.10
= 91.50 - 14
= 77.5
= 77.5/3.10
= 25 miles
Final answer:
The distance between Tammy's home and the airport is 25 miles.
