A taxi company costs $1.75 for the first quarter-mile and fifteen cents for each additional quarter mile. What is the maximum distance you can travel with $4.90?
Answers for sheet # 89
$4.90 - $1.75 = $3.15
15 cents per quarter mile. 60 cents per mile.
$3.15 divided by $0.60. 5.25 miles
Add 0.25 mile for $1.75
Total = $5.50 miles
