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
6For the Raleigh companycreate a table to represent the cost of the cab ride given the number of miles provided for miles 510, 15 and 20. List the cost for the cab ride for 15 miles.
***I suggest completing Question 7 before Question
7For the Raleigh company write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent the amount charged for m number of miles
To create a table representing the cost of the cab ride given the number of miles provided, we can use the given information that the company charges a flat fee of $1.95 plus an additional fee of $2.70 per mile driven.
The table would look like this:
| Miles | Cost |
|-------|------|
| 5 | 15.45|
| 10 | 26.95|
| 15 | 38.45|
We can calculate the cost for 15 miles using the given information.
The flat fee is $1.95, and the additional fee per mile driven is $2.70. So, for 15 miles, the calculation would be:
Cost = Flat fee + (Additional fee per mile * Number of miles)
Cost = $1.95 + ($2.70 * 15)
Cost = $1.95 + $40.50
Cost = $42.45
The cost for the cab ride for 15 miles is $42.45.
Now, let's move on to question 7.
To write an equation in slope-intercept form representing the amount charged for the number of miles (m), we can use the formula:
Cost = (Additional fee per mile * m) + Flat fee
Based on the given information, the additional fee per mile is $2.70, and the flat fee is $1.95. So, the equation would be:
Cost = (2.70 * m) + 1.95
This equation represents the amount charged for any given number of miles (m) for the Raleigh company.
