Answer 1

The taxi fare is calculated by adding the per-mile charge to the upfront cost of £7. For journeys of 1, 2, and 3 miles, the costs are £9 (A), £11 (B), and £13 (C), respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about creating a table of values for a taxi fare based on a flat rate and a per-mile charge. The initial cost (upfront cost) is £7, and the charge per mile is £2. For a taxi journey of 0 miles, the cost is the upfront cost alone, which is £7.

For a journey of 1 mile, we add the per-mile charge to the upfront cost: £7 + (£2 × 1) = £9. This gives us value A as £9.

Following the same pattern, we calculate the cost for a 2-mile journey as: £7 + (£2 × 2) = £11. This gives us value B as £11.

Finally, for a 3-mile journey, we calculate: £7 + (£2 × 3) = £13. Hence, value C is £13.

So, the completed table of values will have £7 for 0 miles, £9 for 1 mile (A), £11 for 2 miles (B), and £13 for 3 miles (C).
