Cab companies often charge a flat fee for picking someone up and then charge an additional fee per mile driven. The city of raleigh , NC, charges 1.95 fee and 2.70 per mile for each cab ride. 6. For the Raleigh company, create a table to represent the cost of the cab ride given the number of miles provided for miles 5, 10, 15 and 20. List the cost for the cab ride for 15 miles.
To create the table, we will consider the cost of the cab ride for 5, 10, 15, and 20 miles.
Let's calculate the cost for each distance:
For 5 miles:
Flat fee = $1.95
Additional fee for 5 miles = $2.70 * 5 = $13.50
Total cost = Flat fee + Additional fee = $1.95 + $13.50 = $15.45
For 10 miles:
Flat fee = $1.95
Additional fee for 10 miles = $2.70 * 10 = $27.00
Total cost = Flat fee + Additional fee = $1.95 + $27.00 = $28.95
For 15 miles:
Flat fee = $1.95
Additional fee for 15 miles = $2.70 * 15 = $40.50
Total cost = Flat fee + Additional fee = $1.95 + $40.50 = $42.45
For 20 miles:
Flat fee = $1.95
Additional fee for 20 miles = $2.70 * 20 = $54.00
Total cost = Flat fee + Additional fee = $1.95 + $54.00 = $55.95
Table representing the cost of the cab ride given the number of miles:
| Miles | Cost ($) |
|-------|----------|
| 5 | $15.45 |
| 10 | $28.95 |
| 15 | $42.45 |
