Question

1. Tim has an after-school delivery service that he provides for several small retailers in town. He uses his bicycle and charges $1.25 for a delivery made within 1 1/2 mi, $1.70 for a delivery of at least 1 1/2 mi but less than 2 miles, and so on. How much would Tim charge to make a delivery 2 5/8 mi away?

2. A store owner had Tim deliver 3 packages. The first went to a customer 3 7/8 mi away. The second went to a customer 2 1/4 mi away. The third package was delivered just around the corner. How much money did Tim receive?

3. If Tim raised his rates by 10%, paid to deliver 3 1/8 mi?

Answer 1

You did not say what he charged per mile after 2 miles

Answer 2

Looks like $1.25 for the first 1.5 miles, and $.45 more for every 1/2 mile beyond that.

So, since 2 5/8 = 1 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/8, the charge is

$1.25 + 0.45 + 0.45 + 0.45 = $2.60

Now work on the other parts.

Answer 3

I need 3 right now please!!
