There will be $4 taxi fee + $4.50 tolls = $8.50 for taxi and tolls.
Subtract from $49.00:
$49.00 - $8.50 = $40.50 remainder or mileage
Divide remainder by $0.90 per mile:
$40.50/0.90 = 45 miles

Your total cost is $49.
To figure out the number of miles:
1) First subtract the $4 fee and the $4.50 for tolls ($8.50 total).
Now your "mileage-only" cost is $40.50
49 - 8.50 = 40.50
2) For $40.50 at $0.90 per mile, you can go 45 miles
40.50 ÷ 0.9 = 45
Answer:
For $49 you can travel 45 miles from the airport
Check:
45 miles @ $0.90 per mile . . $40.50
