Given :
Taxi fare for first 1/ 2 mile = $2.40
additional charges of evey 0.1 mile = $0.20
Amount = $10
Tip = $2
So, remaining amount = $8
Let extra distance be x
2.40 + 0.20x = 8
0.20x = 8 - 2.40
0.20x = 5.60
x = 5.60/0.20
x = 28
So, extra distance travelle = 28 × 0.1 mile
= 2.8 miles
So, total distance travelled =( 2.8 + 0.5)miles
= 3.3 miles
So, total distance travelled is 3.3 miles.
