Answer 4

If two people ride in the same cab in this problem, is the cost the same for two to ride as it is for just one to ride?

Answer 5

Yes, i believe so

Answer 6

What if the friend goes to your house (17.3 miles) and then goes with you from your house to the concert?

Answer 7

10miles from my house to the concert, so if im using Cabs-R-Us so i guess it would still be the same

Answer 8

Which is the cheaper amount for the friend to get to your house:

Cabs-R-Us
$6.00 + $0.50 * (17.3) =

or

Awesome Taxi
$2.00 + $0.75 * (17.3) =

Answer 9

Cabs-R-Us $14.65
Taxi-Awesomeness $10.65

Answer 10

For the Awesome Cab, I got $14.975 or $14.98.

Answer 11

The Cab is cheaper so it would take the friend $14.65 to get to your house.

To that, add the $9.50 it will cost you and the friend to ride together to the concert from your house.

14.65 + 9.50 = ?

Answer 12

24.50

Answer 13

24.15*

Riding separately, the bill is:
