Question

A taxi charges a flat rate of S8 plus $2 per mile travelled. Write an equation to represent the total cost of ajourney. (Let d miles - distance travelled)A total cost = 8d + 2B. total cost = 8d + 2dC. total cost = 8 + 2dD. total cost = 812 + d)

Answer 1

Flat rate: $8

Cost per mile : $2

distance = d (miles)

To find the total cost, we have to add the flat rate (8) and the product of the cost per mile (2) and the distance traveled(d).

Total cost = 8+2d (option C)
