While visiting in New York City, Monica rode in a taxi. The taxi driver charged her a fixed fee of $8 plus $4 for each mile she rode.
Which equation could Monica have used to calculate the total cost in dollars as a function of the distance traveled, in miles, m?
Monica's total cost in dollars can be calculated by adding the fixed fee of $8 to the product of $4 and the distance traveled in miles. So, the equation that represents Monica's total cost, C, as a function of the distance traveled, m, is:
C = 8 + 4m
