Question

The cost of a taxi ride in Happy Hollows is $3.50 plus $0.60 per mile. Find the total cost of a ride of 3 miles.

Answer 1

C = 3.50 + .60m

C is cost of a taxi ride

m is miles driven

Therefore:

C = 3.50 + .60(3)

C = 3.50 + 1.80

C = 5.30

very cheap now days

Answer 2

Hi Emma!

Start by translating this question into an equation. Let c represent the cost of a taxi ride and m represent the number of miles in a taxi ride.

c = 3.5 + 0.6m

c = 3.5 + 0.6(3)

c = 3.5 + 1.8

c = 5.3
