Taxicabs downtown charge a flat fee of $3.25, plus a state tax of $0.50, plus $0.50 for each 1 / 5 mile they travel with a passenger. Travis took a taxicab from his office to a meeting on the other side of town. The cab ride cost $14.75, which includes a $3.00 tip. In decimal form, how far is it from his office to the meeting?

    3.2 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Initial fee plus state tax first because they are static:

    3.25 + 0.5 = 3.75

    Remove the initial charge plus tip from total cost:

    14.75 - 3 - 3.75 = 8

    Divide by 0.5 to get how many 1/5 of a mile he went:

    8 / 0.5 = 16

    Divide 16 by 5 to get miles:

    16 / 5 = 3.2 miles
