The taxi fare in gotham city is $2.40 for the first 1/2 mile and additional mileage charged at the rate $0.20 for each additional 0.1 mile. you plan to give the driver a $2 tip. how many miles can you ride for $10? (an explanation would be ! )

I can ride 3.3 miles in $10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let i can ride x miles in $10.

So for first 0.5 miles I have paid = $2.4

The for remaining ride of (x - 0.5) payment done = $

I gave the tip = $2

Total payment I have done for the ride = $10

So equation will be

2.4 + 2(x - 0.5) + 2 = 10

4.4 + 2x - 1 = 10

3.4 + 2x = 10

2x = 10 - 3.4

2x = 6.6

x =

Therefore, i can ride 3.3 miles in $10.
