Question

A taxi service charges one dollar for the first 1/10 of a mile then $.10 for each additional 1/10 of a mile after that

Answer 1

y = 1.00+0.10 x (if this is what you meant)

Explanation:

Given that a taxi has a minimum charge of 1 dollar upto 1/10 mile and adds 0.10 for every additional 1/10 mile.

If a person travels <=1/10 miles his charges are 1 dollar

If he travels >1/10 miles charges are 1 dollar +0.10(extra miles 1/10)

Let y be the charges and x be the no of 1/10 miles.

Then the equation for y in terms of x would be

y =1.00 +1/10(x)

y = 1.00+0.10 x
