Question

The taxi ride cost five dollars ($5) plus sixty cents (.60) more for each quarter mile traveled. What will be the cost for a 2.75 mile trip? (State in terms of dollars, round to the penny)

Answer 1

Answer:

$11.60

Step-by-step explanation:

60cents = $0.6

Cost = 5 + 0.6x,

Where x is the no. of quarter miles travelled

2.75 = 11/4 : 11 quarter miles

Plug in x = 11 in the cost function

Cost = 5 + (0.6×11)

= 5 + 6.6

= 11.6
