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?
The equation that models the total cost (c) of a taxi cab ride is:
C = 8 + 0.75m
Where C is the total cost in dollars, 8 is the fixed fee for a ride, and 0.75 is the cost per mile driven. "m" is the number of miles driven.
