Question

A taxi service charges a flat fee of $1.25 and $0.75 per mile. If Henri has $14.00, which of the following shows the number of miles he can afford to ride in the taxi?

Answer 1

The total cost of the taxi service is the flat free and the total amount that is based on the distance. Let x be this distance. The equation that would best represent the situation is,
                                              1.25 + 0.75x = 14
Solving for x gives the answer of 17. Thus, Henri can afford to travel 17 miles.

Answer 2

If Henri has $14.00, the number of miles he can afford to ride in the taxi is 17 miles.

What is a function?

A function relates output and inputs.

Therefore, the equation for this situation is as follows:

The taxi service charges a flat fee of $1.25 and $0.75 per mile.

Hence,

let

x = number of miles

y = 0.75x + 1.25

where

y = $14

14  - 1.25 = 0.75x

12.75 = 0.75x

Therefore,

x = 12.75 / 0.75

x= 17

Therefore, the number of miles he can afford is 17 miles.
