A taxi charges $2.50 for the first mile and $0.40 for each mile after that. The expression below shows how to find the total cost, in dollars, of a 20-mile taxi ride. 2.50 + 0.40 (20 - 1) What is the cost of the ride?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright , lets get started.

The first mile charge = [tex]$2.5[/tex]

Total miles taxi covered = [tex]20[/tex]

Subtracting first mile frm the total ride = [tex](20-1)[/tex]

Means the fare will apply on this mile.

So, cost of total ride = [tex]2.5 + 0.4 (20-1)[/tex]

cost of total ride = [tex]2.5+0.4*19[/tex]

cost of total ride = [tex]2.5+7.6[/tex]

cost of total ride = [tex]10.1[/tex]

The answer is $ 10.1 .   :    Answer
