Question

While on vacation in Washington DC, the cab ride for the Dulles airport to the hotel is 15 miles. The

Answer 1

The equation that can be used to determine the cost of a cab ride is cost = $3 + ($1.50 x miles driven).

The flat rate of the cab ride is $3.

The cost of travelling 7 miles is $13.50.

The total amount that would be spent on the cab ride is a function of the price per mile, the total miles driven and the flat rate.

Total cost = variable rate + flat rate

variable rate = cost per mile x total miles driven

15 x $1.50 = $22.50

Flat rate = total cost - variable rate

$25.50 - $22,50 = $3

 

The equation to determine the total cost of a cab ride: $3 + $1.50m

Where m is the miles driven.

The cost of travelling 7 miles : 3 + (1.5 x 7) = $13.50
