Answer:

Equation to represent the situation: 3 + 2.50m = 24.25

Solution: m = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 2.50m = 24.25

Since they stated it would be "dollars as an initial cost to pick him" that would be our 3 in the equation.

Then they stated " $2.50 for every mile" that would be out 2.50, we add m to it because the amount of miles is unknown.

So, he drove 8.5 miles.

Equation to represent the situation: 3 + 2.50m = 24.25

Solution: m = 8.5
