Question

A taxi company charges passengers $2.00 for a ride, no matter how long the ride is, and an additional $0.20 for each mile traveled. The rule c = 0.20m + 2.00 describes the relationship between the number of miles m and the total cost of the ride c. What is the charge for a 1-mile ride?

Answer 1

$2.20

Step-by-step explanation:

For every mile $0.20 is charged

The base fee is $2.00

If you travel 1 mile, you get charged $0.20 along with the base fee of $2.00

2.00 + 0.20 = 2.20
