A taxi charges $2.00 for up to and including the first mile, and $1.60 for each mile thereafter. What would the taxi charge for a trip of 4 miles?
a.$8.00
b.$6.80
c.$6.40
d.$8.40
1 answer
The first mile costs $2.00, and the remaining 3 miles cost $1.60 per mile, so the taxi would charge 3 x $1.60 = $4.80 for those miles. Therefore, the total cost would be $2.00 + $4.80 = $6.80, so the answer is (b) $6.80.
