Aisha is ordering a taxi from an online taxi service. The taxi charges $3 just for the pickup and then an additional $0.75 per mile driven. How much would a taxi ride cost if Aisha is riding for 2 miles? How much would a taxi ride cost that is mm miles long?
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
Cost of ride, 2 miles:
Cost of ride, mm miles:
Cost of ride, 2 miles: $3 (pickup charge) + $0.75/mile x 2 miles = $3 + $1.50 = $4.50
Cost of ride, mm miles: $3 (pickup charge) + $0.75/mile x mm miles = $3 + $0.75mm
