Answer:

22 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $3.40 plus $3.50 per mile. The total fare was $80.40.

The equation will be:

3.40 + 3.50(x) = 80.40

3.40 + 3.5x = 80.40

3.5x = 80.40 - 3.40

3.5x = 77

x = 77/3.5

x = 22

The number of miles in the taxi ride is 22 miles.
