Final answer:
To find the fee per mile for Cab Connect, we can set up equations using the given information for both Sharla and Deon. By solving the equations, we find that the fee per mile is $2.25 for both Sharla and Deon.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can set up equations using the given information. Let's denote the fee per mile as x.
For Sharla, her total cab cost was $9.25 for 3 miles. So we can write the equation:
2.50 + 3x = 9.25
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3x = 9.25 - 2.50
3x = 6.75
x = 6.75 / 3
x = 2.25
Therefore, the fee per mile for Cab Connect is $2.25.
Now, let's find the fee per mile for Deon. His total cab cost was $11.50 for 4 miles.
2.50 + 4x = 11.50
4x = 11.50 - 2.50
4x = 9
x = 9 / 4
x = 2.25
So, the fee per mile for Cab Connect is also $2.25 for Deon.
