Answer: 5 + 0.5m
Explanation:
Let the number of miles be represented by m.
Therefore, since there's a $5 flat rate and an additional $0.50 per mile, this can be formed into a equation as:
= 5 + 0.5m
For example if the number of miles taken is 100miles, the amount charged will be:
= 5 + 0.5m
= 5 + 0.5(100)
= 5 + 50
= $55
