Answer 2

$7.60.

Explanation:

Given:

The initial fee for a taxi ride is $2.60.

An additional fee for a taxi ride per mile is $2.50.

One day, Mia rode 2 miles in a taxi.

Question asked:

What was the total cost, in dollars, of her taxi ride ? ​

Solution:

As Mia rode 2 miles in a taxi:-

By unitary method:

An additional fee for 1 mile taxi ride = $2.50

An additional fee for 2 miles taxi ride =
`2.50*2=\$5`

Now, to find the total cost, we will add the initial fee and additional fee:

Total cost = The initial fee for a taxi ride + An additional fee for 2 miles

Total cost = $2.60 + $5

= $7.60

Thus, the total cost of Mia's driving for 2 miles is $7.60.
