As soon as you enter the taxi, you pay a ride fee of $2. Michelle rode a taxi from her office to her home, which constitutes 4 miles. If the taxi charge per mile is $2.5, how much did pay Michelle pay in total for her ride?
The taxi charge for a distance of 4 miles is 4 x $2.5 = $<<4*2.5=10>>10.
The total amount that Michelle paid for the ride was $2 + $10 = $<<2+10=12>>12.
