Problem 6:
Option A is to take a taxi which will cost you $10 plus $1 per additional mile. Option B is to drive by yourself. The cost of gas is $1.50 per mile. After how many miles will the total cost of each option be the same? What is the total cost? Let x represent the number of miles and y represent the total cost.

Option A: y = x + 10
Option B: y = 1.5x

Answer 1

Problem 6

10+x=1.5x

10=0.5x

Then x = 20 miles

and y = 10+20*1= $30
