Question

For a ride, a taxi driver charges an initial fare of $3.00 plus $0.40 for each 1 fifth of a mile driven. If the total charge for a ride is $27.00, what is the distance traveled, in miles?

  1. 3
  2. 8
  3. 12
  4. 15

The correct answer is: 12


    The initial charge is $3
    Charge for 1 fifth mile = $0.40
    Charge for 1 mile = $2.00
    Total charge for x miles = $2x
    Total charge = $27 = $2x + $3
    27 - 3 = 2x
    24 = 2x
    x = 12.
