Question 6 • Transition Mathematics for Seniors
The Allied Taxi Company charges 2 point 50 dollars to pick up a passenger and then adds 1 point 95 dollars per mile. Isaac was charged 27 point 46 dollars to go from one city to another. If x represents the number of miles driven by the taxi, which linear equation can be used to solve this problem, and how many miles did Isaac travel, rounded to the nearest tenth?
Answer
A
2 point 50x plus 1 point 95 is equal to 27 point 46 ; Isaac traveled 10 point 2 miles.
B
1 point 9 5 x plus 2 point 5 0 is equal to 27 point 4 6 ; Isaac traveled 15 point 4 miles.
C
1 point 95x plus 2 point 50 is equal to 27 point 46 ; Isaac traveled 12 point 8 miles.
D
2 point 50x plus 1 point 95 is equal to 27 point 46 ; Isaac traveled 11 point 8 miles.
