Question

Tammy takes a taxi home from the airport. The taxi fare is $2.10 per mile, and she gives the driver a tip of $5. Tammy pays a total of $49.10. Which equation can be used to determine the distance between Tammy's home and the airport?

Answer 1

2.10x+5=49.10
Is the equation just solve for x

Answer 2

Answer:

Tammy home is 21 miles away from the airport.

Step-by-step explanation:

I tried out different numbers and either had to go up or go down. You'll have to make sure the decimal ends with .10 because she tipped the driver $5 and no change. 2.10 x 21 = 44.1 plus the $5 tip it would be $49.10
