Ellie took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $1.50 plus $5 per mile. The total fare was $76.50, not including the tip. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine mm, the number of miles in the taxi ride.

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = price per mile   x= number of miles   1.5 = pick-up fee   76.5 = total  

5x + 1.5 = 76.5

5x = 76.5 - 1.5

5x = 75

x =75/ 5

x = 15
