Question

Compute the fare without tip: 1 passenger, 9.5 miles. Round to nearest fifth of a mile when dividing.

Answer 1

The fare without tip for the Metro Taxi is of 1 passenger and 9.5 miles is $27.83.

The given parameters:

• Number of passenger = 1
• Total distance = 9.5 miles
• Cost of first 0.2 mile = $0.75
• Cost of additional mile = $0.55
• Cost of a passenger = $1.50

The fare without tip for the Metro Taxi is calculated as follows;

• for the first 0.2 mile = $0.75
• the remaining distance = 9.5 - 0.2 = 9.3 miles

$cost \ of \ distance = \ 0.75 \ \ + \ \ \frac{\ 0.55}{0.2 \ mile} \times 9.3 \ miles\\\\cost \ of \ distance = \ 26.325$

Cost of 1 passenger = $1.50

The total cost is calculated as follows;

total cost = $1.50 + $26.325

total cost = $27.83

Thus, the fare without tip for the Metro Taxi is of 1 passenger and 9.5 miles is $27.83.
