the diamond taxi company charges an initial fee of $3.00 plus $2.00 per mile for each ride.
a) using the table show the cost (C) of taking a taxi 0-5 miles
number of miles cost(c)
1 ?
2 ?
3 ?
4 ?
5 ?
can you show me to do the number of miles for 1 and then i'll try to do 2-5
c=Cost
m=miles
c=$3.00+(m*$2.00)
If the number of miles=1
c=$3.00+(1*$2.00)
c=$3.00+$2.00
c=$5.00
so if m=2 then c= 3.00+(2*2.00)
so that's 3.00+4.00
so c=7
Sure! To find the cost (C) of taking a taxi for a certain number of miles, you can use the formula C = 3 + 2m, where m represents the number of miles traveled.
For example, to find the cost of taking a taxi for 1 mile, you substitute m = 1 into the formula:
C = 3 + 2(1) = 3 + 2 = 5
So, the cost of taking a taxi for 1 mile would be $5.
Now, you can try to find the costs for 2-5 miles.
