Question

a taxi company charges passengers $1.75for a ride, no matter how long the ride is and an additional .40 for each mile traveled. the rule c+0.40m +1.75 describes the relationship between the number of miles m and the total cost of the ride c. a what is the charge for 1-mile ride? b. what is the charge for a 2.7 mile ride?

Answer 1

The relationship between the miles and the total cost is, for every 1 mile at the cost of $.40 you will have to pay an initial fee of $1.75.

The charge for a one-mile drive is $2.15 (C=.40*1+1.75)

The charge for a 2.7 mile ride will be $2.83 (C=.40*2.7+1.75)
