a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

The fixed charges for the pick up = $3

Charges per mile = $1.50

Let s denote the total miles driven and t be the total cost for the trip

This can be represented by the equation

t = 3 + 1.5s

Step 2:

Distance traveled by Jonathan in his trip = 10 miles

So cost for riding 10 miles is

t = 3 + 1.5(10) = 3 + 15 = $18

The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

Step 3 :

If the distance traveled is m miles, then substituting s = m in the above equation we get the cost as 1.5 m + 3

Step 4 :

Answer :

a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3

After spending $30 on a dress, Mary had 3/8 of her money left. How much money did she have at first?

BaLLatris [955]

The answer is that she had 48. Set it up as an equation with x as the amount of money she started with. x - 30 = 3/8x. That says, in words, "the amount of money she started with minus 30 for the dress left her with 3/8 of the money she started with. Solve for x by adding 30 to both sides and subtracting 3/8 from 8/8x (8/8 = 1). 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8, so 5/8x = 30, multiply both sides by 8 to get 5x=240 and x = 48.
