Question

As the result of studying the cost of a cab ride by looking at the price for certain distances, we obtained a formula that describes the cost of a trip () in terms of miles traveled (m): C = 5+2.5m. Part: 0/2 Part 1 of 2 (a) How much would it cost for a 19-mile trip to the airport? A 19-mile trip to the airport would cost s

Answer 1

A 19-mile trip to the airport would cost $52.50.

To calculate this, we can substitute m = 19 into the formula C = 5 + 2.5m:

C = 5 + 2.5(19) = 5 + 47.5 = 52.5.

Therefore, the cost for a 19-mile trip to the airport would be $52.50.
