Answer: $9.72

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option D

The answer is $9.72

Explanation:

Here, We are given that;

For first 1/4 mile = $1.25,

For each additional 1/4 mile = $0.35,

For each additional passanger = $1.25.

Now,

4 1/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 miles

Here, the price is different for the first 1/4 mile.

So,

4.5 – 0.25 = 4.25 miles

↬ If it costs $0.35 for 0.25 mile then it will cost $1.4 for 1 mile.

0.35 × 4 = $1.4

Now, for 4.25 miles

1.4 + 1.4 + 1.4 + 1.4 + 0.35 = $5.95

Now, For first 1/4 mile and for each additional passanger.

$5.95 + $1.25 + $1.25 = $8.45

Here, The total fare with 15% tip

8.45 × 15 ÷ 100 = $1.2675

Now,

$8.45 + $1.2675 = $9.7175 ≈ $9.72

Thus, The answer is $9.72
