Question

A taxi driver determines the fare using the formula F = 1.50 + 2.6m. Where f is the fare and m is the miles. What is the fare for a taxi ride that is 2.5 miles long?

Answer 1

Using the equation provided would give you this result:

F = 1.50 + 2.6m

m will be 2.5:

F = 1.50 + 2.6 * 2.5

F = 1.50 + 6.50

F = $8.00

The fare will be $8.00 for 2.5 miles
