Question

Alfredo is ordering a taxi from an online taxi service. The taxi charges $3.50 just for

the pickup and then an additional $0.75 per mile driven. How much would a taxi ride
cost if Alfredo is riding for 5 miles? How much would a taxi ride cost that is m miles
long?

Answer 1

3.50 + 0.75(m) = total cost

3.50 + 0.75•5
= 3.50 + 3.75 = $7.25 for 5 miles

And the formula for the bottom part is
3.5 + 0.75m
