Question

A taxi charges a fee of $5 per ride plus $0.30 per mile. Write an algebraic expression for the cost of m miles. What is the cost for 5 miles? (1 point)
0.30m + 5; $6.50
0.30m – 5; $1.50
0.30m + 5; $1.50
0.30m – 5; $6.50

Answer 1

Fixed fee: 5

1 mile: $0.30 x 1
2 miles: $0.30 x 2
3 miles: $0.30 x 3
m miles: $0.30 x m = 0.30m

Total cost= fixed fee + per-mile fee
Cost = 0.30m + 5

For 5 miles:
Cost = 0.30(5) + 5
Cost = 1.50 + 5
Cost = 6.50
