Question

Determine the cost of a taxi trip of 9 miles if the fare is $1.10 forthe first 1/6 mile and $.20 for each additional 1/6 mile (or fraction).a. $1.80b. $10.50c. $9.30d. $11.70

Answer 1

We are given :

-Cab fare for the first 1/6 mile = $1.10

-subsequent miles = $20

- total miles = 9

Calculations :

• 9 -1/6 = 54/6

= 54/6 - 1/6

= 53/6

• y = 1.10 + 53* 0.20 =$11.70

So correct option is number D
