A taxi cab company charges $8.00 per ride plus $0.75 for each mile driven. Which equation models the total cost (c), in dollars, of a taxi cab ride, where m is the number of miles driven?
A
c = 8m + 0.75
B
c = 8.75m + 0.75
C
c = 0.75m + 8
D
c = 0.75m + 8.75
A. c = 8m + 0.75 is the correct equation that models the total cost (c) of a taxi cab ride, where m is the number of miles driven.
The correct equation that models the total cost (c) of a taxi cab ride based on the number of miles driven (m) is:
A) c = 8m + 0.75
