^PLZ HELP, I NEED IT BY TODAY!!! (PART B and PART C only) PLZ THANKS

Answer 1

Part B (Taxi):

12 miles = 0.5 miles + (115×0.1) miles

Rate: $2.40 + (115×0.20)

         = $25.40

Total cost (with tip): $25.40 + $2

                               = $27.40

20 miles = 0.5 miles + (195×0.1) miles

Rate: $2.40 + (195×0.20)

         = $41.40

Total cost (with tip): $41.40 + $2

                               = $43.40

50 miles = 0.5 miles + (495×0.1) miles

Rate: $2.40 + (495×0.20)

         = $101.40

Total cost (with tip): $101.40 + $2

                               = $103.40

Part B (Uber):

12 miles (rate) = $1 + ($1.05×12)

                        = $13.60

Total cost (with tip): $13.60 + $2

                               = $15.60

20 miles (rate) = $1 + ($1.05×20)

                         = $22

Total cost (with tip): $22 + $2

                               = $24

50 miles (rate) = $1 + ($1.05×50)

                        = $53.50

Total cost (with tip): $53.50 + $2

                               = $55.50

Part C

Uber is a better mode of transportation. This is because given the same distance travelled for both the taxi and the Uber, Uber has a lower cost compared to the taxi.
