Question

A taxi charges 75 cents initial fee plus 11 cents each kilometer. Find the cost of a 280 km trip. $31.55

Answer 1

$31.55

Explanation:

cost of trip = initial fee + (km rate x number of km)

given initial fee = $0.75, km rate = 0.11 per km, number of km = 280km

cost of trip = 0.75 + (0.11 x 280)

= 0.75 + 30.80

= $31.55
