Question

4.

A taxi company charges passengers $1.75 for a ride, no matter how long the ride is, and an additional $0.40 for each mile traveled. The rule c= 0.40m + 1.75 describes the relationship between the number of miles m and the total cost of the ride c. What is the charge for a 2.7-mile ride?

A. $2.15

B. $2.83

C. $5.13

D. $1.08

Answer 1

B. $2.83

Explanation:

1.75+(2.7*.4)=

1.75+1.08=

2.83

The answer is $2.83

c=0.40(2.7)+1.75=$2.83 so $2.83 is the answer

2.83

c = 0.4. * 2.7 + 1.75

=> c = 2.83

.4(2.7)+1.75

1.08+1.75=2.83

$2.83 is correct.

Answer 2

B because 1.75 plus .40 is 2.15 then another .40 is 2.55 then charge for the .7 miles and the only logical answer is 2.83. That’s the best i got
