Question

If a certain train fare costs $5.00 for the first

10 miles of service, $0.25 per mile for the next
40 miles, and $0.10 per mile for each additional
mile, what would the train fare be to travel a
total distance of 100 miles?

Answer 1

$20

Explanation:

$5.00 = 10miles

$0.25(40) = 40 miles

Remaining miles: 100 - (10 + 40) = 50

0.10(50) = 50 miles

5.00 + 0.25(40) + 0.10(50)

5.00 + 10.00 + 5.00

$20.00 for 100 miles
