Question

HELP PLEASE!!!
Sam Seller pays a local club $40 a month. Each week he has dinner for a flat fee of $20.00. Sam takes a cab, which charges him $1.75 for the first half-mile and $1.00 for each mile after that. The club is 5.5 miles from Sam's home, and he tips the driver $5.00 when he returns home. What does this meal cost Sam? (Don't forget the club membership for that week.)

A.)$38.50
B.)$48.50
C.)$58.50
D.)$78.50

Answer 1

1. im not sure i understand the question correctly but i think that u gotta add the costs for the meal and the taxi ride home because its because of the meal he has to take the taxi. i think. so therefore you would find how much it costs for the taxi which is:

1.75 + (5 x 1) = $5.75 then add the tip so it equals $10.75
add the meal cost so that's $30.75 altogether.

Answer 2

75 + (5 x 1) = $5.75 then add the tip so it equals $10.75
add the meal cost so that's $30.75 altogether.
