Question

Elijah is ordering a taxi from an online taxi service. The taxi charges $2

just for the pickup and then an additional $1.50 per mile driven. How
much would a taxi ride cost if Elijah is riding for 9 miles? How much
would a taxi ride cost that is m miles long?

Answer 1

So there’s a flat fee of 2 and that’s like a standalone thing so our equation would be
2 + 1.50m

Assuming m = 9, it would be 2 + 13.50

And the two answers are-

A) $15.50
B) 2 + 1.50m
