Question

Solve your formula from problem 12 for m. Then find the taxi driver’s hourly rate of his pickup rate is $2 and he charges $19.50 for a 7 - mile trip

Answer 1

Answer: Cost per mile m = $4.78.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Pick up rate = $2

Charges for a 7 mile trip = $19.50

Charges for a mile trip would be

$\dfrac{19.50}{7}\\\\=2.78$

So, amount of taxi's drivers is given by

$\ 2.78+\ 2\\\\=\ 4.78$

Hence, cost per mile m = $4.78.

Answer 2

M must equal (19.5÷7) plus 2 dollars
