Question

Uber charges $0.80 per mile and a booking fee of $2.30. Lyft charges $1.07 per mile with no booking fee. Which of the systems of equations bests models this situation where c represents the cost and m the number of miles ridden?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the total cost of booking either Uber or Lyft for x miles.

Let m represent the number of miles ridden with either Uber or Lyft.

Uber charges $0.80 per mile and a booking fee of $2.30. This means that the total cost of riding with Uber for m miles would be

c = 2.30 + 0.8m - - - - - - - - - -1

Lyft charges $1.07 per mile with no booking fee. This means that the total cost of riding with Lyft for m miles would be

c = 1.07m - - - - - - - - - -2

Equation 1 and equation 2 are the system of equations that bests models this situation
