a cab company charges $4 per cab ride, plus an additional $1 per mile driven. If a cab ride is 92 miles long, how much will it cost?

Answer 1

number of rides is 1 ride, i.e. n = 1 ride,

number of miles is 92 miles, i.e. m = 92 miles,

cost for initial cab ride is 4$/ride, i.e. c = 4 $/ride,

cost of ride per mile is 1$/mile, i.e. r = 1$/mile

Hence, the amount of the ride, T, will be equal to c*n + r*m, i.e. T = 1*4 + 1*92 = 96$

Answer:

1. T = 96$
