Question

A taxi charges a flat fee of $4.00 plus $2.25 per mile. How much will it cost to travel 8.7 miles?

Answer 1

It will cost `$23.58` to travel `8.7` miles.

Explanation:

As the taxi charges `$2.25` per mile, for `8.7` miles charges would be

`$8.7xx2.25=$19.575`

But we should also add flat fee of `$4.00`, so total cost should be

`19.575+$4.00=$23.575`

And rounding it to nearest cent it should be `$23.58`
