Question

A horse and carriage ride is available in the park. A 3-mile ride costs $10.24 per person and a 5-mile ride costs $18.58 per person. How much will a 4-mile ride cost per person?

Answer 1

$14.41

Explanation:

3 mile: 10.24

5 mile: 18.58

2 additional miles:

18.58 - 10.24

8.34

1 additional mile: 8.34 ÷ 2

= 4.17

Cost of 4 mile:

3 miles + 1 additional

10.24 + 4.17 = 14.41
