You are on vacation in New York City, and you need to get around town to different locations. Below are the rates for 2 different cab companies, locally dubbed "The Red Cabs" and "The Green Cabs".

How many miles would you travel for the cost to be the same for both cabs and how much will that cost you?
What is the difference in cost between the two companies if you need to travel 8 miles?
After seeing all your vacation photos on S n a p b o o k, your cousin decided they wanted to visit New York City also. They asked for some general advice on traveling around the city. What advice would you give them about which cab company they should use when they travel around the city?

Answer 1

The costs are equal at 3 miles. It coest $8 for either company

At 8 miles the green cost 13 and the red cost 18.

My advice would be to use the Red compnay if traveling less than 3 miles and the green company is traveling more than 3 miels. At 3 miles the costs are the same.
