Question

A city bus charges $0.25 per ride if you first buy the $10 discount card. Let B be the total cost, in dollars, of taking n rides on the bus.

Answer 1

Answer:

$B= 10 + 0.25n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Base\ Amount = \ 10$

$Charges = \ 0.25$ per ride

Required

Calculate total cost, B

If 1 ride costs $0.25

n rides would cost $0.25 * n

n rides = $0.25n

Total Cost is then calculated as:

$B = Base\ Amount + Rides$

Substitute values for Base Amount and Rides

$B= 10 + 0.25n$
