Answer:  The required cost of taxi is $34.3.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a taxi is charging $1.50 per 500 meters. Our destination is 7.1 miles away and there are 1,609 meters in a mile.

We have to find the cost of taxi.

We have

1 mile = 1609 meters.

So, 7.1 miles = 7.1 × 1609 = 11423.9 meters.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the remaining problem.

We have

Cost of taxi for 500 meters = $1.50.

So, the cost of taxi for 1 meter will be

\$\dfrac{1.50}{500}.

Therefore, the cost of taxi for 11423.9 meters is given by

\dfrac{1.50}{500}\times11423.9=34.2717.

Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we get that the cost of taxi is $34.3.

Thus, the required cost of taxi is $34.3.

Answer:

$34.27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should make everything the same value, so convert the 7.1 miles into meters. (11,423.9 meters). Since we are trying to find a value <em>per</em> 500 meters, divide the 11,423.9 meters by 500 to get 22.8478. Multiply this number by $1.50 to get the value 34.2717 and since we are rounding to the cent, that would be $34.27
