Part B (Taxi):
12 miles = 0.5 miles + (115×0.1) miles
Rate: $2.40 + (115×0.20)
= $25.40
Total cost (with tip): $25.40 + $2
= $27.40
20 miles = 0.5 miles + (195×0.1) miles
Rate: $2.40 + (195×0.20)
= $41.40
Total cost (with tip): $41.40 + $2
= $43.40
50 miles = 0.5 miles + (495×0.1) miles
Rate: $2.40 + (495×0.20)
= $101.40
Total cost (with tip): $101.40 + $2
= $103.40
Part B (Uber):
12 miles (rate) = $1 + ($1.05×12)
= $13.60
Total cost (with tip): $13.60 + $2
= $15.60
20 miles (rate) = $1 + ($1.05×20)
= $22
Total cost (with tip): $22 + $2
= $24
50 miles (rate) = $1 + ($1.05×50)
= $53.50
Total cost (with tip): $53.50 + $2
= $55.50
Part C
Uber is a better mode of transportation. This is because given the same distance travelled for both the taxi and the Uber, Uber has a lower cost compared to the taxi.
