Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You have total of $20

We subtract $2.50 from it since it is the base charge, so now we have:

20 - 2.5 = $17.50

This is for the number of miles at $2.50 PER MILE. To find the number of miles we can travel for this, we have to divide the amount we have (17.5) by the rate per mile (2.5), so we have:

17.5/2.7 = 7

So for a total of $20, we can travel 7 miles (without tip)
