Question

you are visiting new Orleans, la and a taxi company charges a flat fee of $2.75 for using the taxi and $0.35 per mile write an equation

Answer 1

We have a fixed fee of $2.75, independent of the miles.

We also have to add a variable fee, the depends on the number of miles (lets call them x), that is $0.35 per mile.

Then, we can write the total fee as:

`C(x)=2.75+0.35\cdot x`
