The cost of a taxi ride is 5 dollars plus 50 cents per mile. write an algebraic explanation that models the cost of a taxi ride of m miles

Respuesta :

5+0.5m hope this helps :)

Answer:

[tex]c=5+0.5*m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I will call the total cost of the ride by the letter [tex]c[/tex], and the number of miles (acording to the problem) is [tex]m[/tex].

For each mile 0.5 cents are charged, so if m miles are traveled, [tex]0.5*m[/tex] will be charged for those miles.

Then the total cost of the taxi ride is

[tex]c=5+0.5*m[/tex]

the 5 in the equation is because the taxi ride is 5 dollars initially, and then the 0.5*m is the cost for the miles traveled.
