Juan needs to take an Uber to get to the movies. The Uber charges $1.50 for the first mile, and then $1.55 for each mile after that. If the total charge is $10.49, then how far was Juan’s Uber ride to the movie?

5.8 miles were travelled by Juan's Uber ride to the movie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = miles travelled by Juan

Charges for first mile = $1.50

Charges for each mile after first = $1.55

Total charge for Juan = $10.49

We need to find how many miles Juan covered?

The equation will be:

We will solve this equation to find value of x

Solving:

Subtracting 1.50 from both sides

So, 5.8 miles were travelled by Juan's Uber ride to the movie.

both triangles are similar because 2 is just smaller than the big one 1 is similar because they are facing different way's but are similar to each other
