Zane Meyer · Answer 1

6 miles is the answer first you subtract the initial fee thn you divide the number by the price per mile

Muffin · Answer 2

First you do

4+2.75 = 6.75 that's the first 2 miles

Then you do

2.75x5 = $13.75

$13.75+$6.75 = $20.50

So the answer is 6

As you times the fare of $2.75 by 5 miles then you add on the first mile that is $4
