Answer:
2.83 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Fixed charges made by the taxi company for a ride = [tex]1.75$[/tex]
Additional charge for each mile travelled = [tex]0.40 $[/tex]
Hence equation for cost is given by
[tex]c=0.40m+1.75[/tex] where m is thenumber of miles travelled.
To find out the charge for a 2.7 mile ride substitute m = 2.7
[tex]c(2.7) = 0.40(2.7)+1.75\\\\\=1.08+1.75\\=2.83[/tex]
Total cost for 2.7 mile ride is 2.83 dollars
