Answer 1

y = 44+22m

Explanation:

Given that a taxi has a minimum charge of 44 dollar upto 1 mile and adds 22 for every additional 1 mile.

If a person travels 1 miles his charges are 44 dollar

If he travels >1 miles charges are 4 dollar +22(extra miles )

Let y be the charges and m be the no of miles.

Then the equation for y in terms of m would be

y =44+22m

is the correct answer.
