Marvin’s taxi service charges $0.30 For the 1st km and $0.05 for each additional kilometer. If the cab there was $3.20, how far did the taxes go?

Answer 1

Let's first start by finding the cost for the additional kilometers. We do this by subtracting the total cost from the cost of the first kilometer. 3.20 - 0.30 = 2.90

To find the additional kilometers traveled, we divide 2.90 by 0.05, giving us 58 extra kilometers.

Tack on the 1 kilometer at the start of the trip, and the taxi went 59 kilometers total.
