A trolley charges $2.00 for every mile traveled. How much would it cost to travel 5 miles? 8 miles? 20 miles?

Answer 1

To calculate the cost of traveling a certain distance with the trolley, you can multiply the distance in miles by the charge per mile.

1. Cost for 5 miles: \[ 5 \text{ miles} \times 2.00 \text{ dollars/mile} = 10.00 \text{ dollars} \]

2. Cost for 8 miles: \[ 8 \text{ miles} \times 2.00 \text{ dollars/mile} = 16.00 \text{ dollars} \]

3. Cost for 20 miles: \[ 20 \text{ miles} \times 2.00 \text{ dollars/mile} = 40.00 \text{ dollars} \]

So, the costs are:

• Traveling 5 miles costs $10.00.
• Traveling 8 miles costs $16.00.
• Traveling 20 miles costs $40.00.
