At a little-known vacation spot, taxi fares are a bargain. A 28-mile taxi ride takes 42 minutes and costs $16.80. You want to find the cost of a 50-mile taxi ride. What unit price do you need?

In order to do so, we have to find the unit cost of distance covered by ride which is the unit cost per mile of the ride that is the cost for 1 mile of taxi ride.

Our Formula:

Unit Cost = Cost for 1 mile of taxi ride = cost of taxi ride / distance covered by taxi ride

Using the values given we can use the formula so

unit cost = 16.80 / 28 = 0.6

Cost of 50 mile taxi ride

0.6 x 50 = 30
