A cab company charges $2.35 per cab ride, plus an additional $1.60 per mile driven. If a cab ride 14 miles long, how much will it cost?

Answer 1

Hi Ashanti,

The equation for cost in this case is

cost = 2.35 + 1.60m

where m is the number of miles. From there, you simply need to plug in 14 for m and do the arithmetic.

Hope that helps!
