ann took a taxi home from the airport. the taxi fare was $2.10 per mile and she gave the driver a $5 tip. Ann paid a total of $49.10. What is an equation to determine the distance in miles from Anns home to the airport?
First, lets subtract the tip because that is not included with the amount of miles. Then, we need to divide the difference by 2.10 to find the amount of miles:
(49.1/5)/2.1 = amount of miles it takes to reach Ann's home
