A taxi driver wrote a formula to represent the mileage and fee for his last customer. He wrote the equation 3.00 + 0.50m =9.50,
where m represents the number of miles traveled. Which statement shows the meaning of the driver’s equation? Check all that apply.
1. Three dollars added to $0.50 is the same as $9.50.
2. Three dollars plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents.
3. Three dollars more than the quotient of $0.50 and the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.
4. The product of the number of miles and the sum of $3 and $0.50 is equal to $9.50.
5. The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.
Ok so we know he used over 700 because he was charged more than 40. Then we take the $8.10 and divide 0.45 into it. This then gives you 18 more minutes. Then add 18 to 700 and you get 718 min.
