11. Example 3-5a TRANSPORTATION A taxi ride costs $3.50 plus $2 for each mile traveled. If Jan pays $11.50 for the ride, how many miles did she travel? Her cost starts at $3.50 and adds $2 until it reaches $11.50. Organize the data for the first few miles into a table and look for a pattern. 2 1 0 CostMiles 3

12. Example 3-5a Write an equation to represent the situation. Let m represent the number of miles. 3.50 + 2m2m 11.50 flat rate plus m miles at $2 per mile equals $11.50 Simplify. Write the equation. Subtract 3.50 from each side.

13. Example 3-5a Answer: Jan traveled 4 miles. Divide each side by 2. Simplify.

14. Example 3-5b TRANSPORTATION A rental car costs $100 plus $0.25 for each mile traveled. If Kaya pays $162.50 for the car, how many miles did she travel? Answer: 250 miles
