Question

If a taxi ride is m miles, which expression can be used to find the total charge of the ride

Answer 1

d. 0.85m + 2.50

Explanation:

In the figure attached, the complete question is shown.

We can see in the table that $2.50 is a fixed charge, that is, it is not modified by any variable. On the other hand, for each travelled mile, the cost of the travel increases $0.85 ($0.75 by mileage charge + $0.1 by city gas tax). Then, if m miles are travelled, the cost of the travel increases 0.85*m
