Question

A uber charges $8 to get in the car and $0.75 each mile. A taxi company charges $3 to get in the cab and $1.25 each mile. For how many miles would the cost be the same for either company? HELP ME!!!!!!! i will make BEST ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

It would be every 10 miles. Take the 8 uber charges and add the .75 x 10 giving you 15.50

uber 8 + (.75 x 10) = 8 + 7.50 = 15.50


Do the same with the taxi cost. 3 + (1.25 x 10) = 3 + 12.50 = 15.50
