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
Answer:
C & D
Step-by-step explanation:
You can do these two ways. You can multiply the cost of the the shirt by 15% (.15 as a decimal.) and then subtract that answer from the original price of the shirt to get the sales price of the shirt.
You can also multiply the price of the shirt by 85% (.85 as a decimal) and that will give you the sales price without having to subtract. 15% + 85% = 100%, so 85% represents the sales price of the shirt.
Anyway, since you multiply, you can eliminate choice A & B.
Since the direction in the question says to select all that apply, I would check both C & D.
C is the equation of the first way I talked about- Price - 15% * price
C p - 0.15p
D is the equation of the second way I talked about. Price times 85%
D 0.85p
