Question

Jenny catches a taxi from the supermarket to her house. The taxi firm charges £3.00 standing charge, plus 50p per mile. How much will it cost Jenny to travel 8 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:$9.25

Explanation: 50 divided by 8 which will give you 6.25. Then added the amount of money the taxi firm charges which is 3.00. Then add $6.25+3.00 which should give you $9.25

Answer 2

Answer:

It will cost Jenny £434 to travel 8 miles.

Explanation:

You can use the expression 3 + 50m

3 is the base cost, 50 is the price per mile, m.

Considering you need to find how much it will cost Jenny for 8 miles, you can substitute 8 for m, giving you 3 + 50(8).

Solving through:

3 + 50(8)

3 + 400 = 434

This means it will cost Jenny £434 to travel 8 miles.
