The company charges $1.40 per mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of 6.5 miles ride = $12.00

Cost of 9 mile ride = $15.50

Let,

x be the cost per mile.

y be the pick up fee.

Total cost = Cost per mile*distance + pick up fee

According to statement;

6.5x+y=12.00    Eqn 1

9x+y=15.50       Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

(9x+y)-(6.5x+y)=15.50-12.00\\9x+y-6.5x-y=3.50\\2.5x=3.50

Dividing both sides by 2.50

\frac{2.50x}{2.50}=\frac{3.50}{2.50}\\x=1.40

The company charges $1.40 per mile.

Does anyone understand this
Nataliya [291]

For this problem, 0.25 in = 50 m. So

11 in = (11 in) • (50/0.25 m/in) = 2200 m

Alternatively, if 0.25 in = 50 m, that means 1 in = 200 m. So 11 in = 11 (200 m) = 2200 m.
