Question

Use the scenario to answer question 5-7 : Tonya is a Lyft driver and she charges a base fee of $3.50 to begin a drive. She then charges $0.50 per mile. Sandra needs a ride to the convention center but she has to pick up a friend along the way so she determines it is at least 15 miles to get there, but less than 20 miles. Write the domain for this scenario.

Answer 1

Explanation:

We are expected to solve for the range of cost that Sandra will pay to Tonya

firstly, the model for Tonya's charge is

y=3.5+0.5x

For 15 miles

y=3.5+0.5(15)

y=3.5+7.5

y= $11

For 20 miles

y=3.5+0.5(20)

y=3.5+10

y= $13.5

Hence the domain is y=3.5+0.5x 11<=y<=13.5
