Question

A taxi service charges $1.00 for the first mile then $0.10 for each additional mile after that. How much would you pay for having the taxi drive you 2 MILES?

Answer 1

$1.10

Explanation:

In an equation, this would be written as follows (where y equals the total price and x is the number of miles driven):

`y = 0.10(x-1) + 1.00`

Therefore:

`y=0.10(2-1)+1.00`

`y= 0.10(1)+1.00`

`y=0.10+1.00`

`y=1.10`

y = $1.10

Answer 2

$1.10this is because the first mile it’s 1 and every additional mile is .10. So just add 1 + .10
