An Uber driver charges $1.75 plus a fee of$0.85 for each mile traveled. The total cost of a ride, without a tip, is \$8.75. Write
an equation if you wanted to find the value of m,the number of miles traveled.

1. The number miles travelled is  8.2352 miles
What is a number ?
An item in mathematics used for measurement, labeling, and counting is a number. The prime numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth are the original examples. Number words can be used to represent numbers in language.
The arithmetic value of a number is one that is used to denote amount. As a result, a number is a mathematical concept used for counting, measuring, and labeling. As a result, mathematics is based on numbers.
An arithmetic value known as a number is used to represent a quantity and do calculations. Numbers are represented by written symbols, such as “3,” which are referred to as numerals. A number system is a method of writing that uses logically ordered digits or symbols to represent numbers.
The equation is
8.75 = 1.75 + 0.85m
m = The number of miles
Solving the equation
8.75 – 1.75 = 0.85 m
m = 7 / 0.85
= 8.2352 miles
