Question

When visiting Baltimore, MD, you need to rent a taxi to get from your hotel to the National Aquarium. The taxi company charges a flat fee of $3 for using the taxi and $0.75 per mile. It is 11 miles from your hotel to the National Aquarium, how much without a tip did your taxi rental cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

the cost of renting a taxi

flat fee is =$3

fee per mile=$0.75

total number of miles= 11 mile

Step two:

the linear function for the expression of the total cost is

y=mx+c

 where m=$0.75

              x= 11 miles

              c= $3

substitute to find y, which is the total cost

y=0.75(11)+3

y=8.25+3

y=11.25

The total cost for the rental for 11 miles is $11.25
