The cost for a taxi is $2.50 plus $2.00 per mile. If the total for a taxi ride was $32.50, how many miles did the customer travel? m = number of miles traveled price per mile(number of miles) + 2.50 = total cost 2m + 2.5 = 32.5 {price per mile x number of miles + 2.50 = total cost} -2.5 -2.5 2m = 30 {subtracted 2.5 from each side} m = 15 {divided each side by 2} the customer traveled 15 miles - Algebra House
