Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

c

=

0.6

d

+

1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The

3

mile cab ride includes a basic charge as well as the cost for the distance covered.

For a

6

mile trip, the cost is

$

4.80

which means that :

The cost of

3

miles is

$

4.80

−

$

3.00

=

$

1.80

Therefore the cost for

1

mile is

$

1.80

÷

3

=

$

0.60

The basic fee for hiring the cab is

$

3.00

−

$

1.80

=

$

1.20

So the total cost,

c

for a trip of

d

miles will be:

c

=

0.6

d

+

1.2
