levi is taking an uber while he is on vacation the uber charges $5 to pick him up and then $1.50 per mile that they drive him. fill in the expression with the correct numbers to represent the given scenario. let m s represent miles driven

1 answer

To represent Levi's Uber charges with an expression, we can break it down into two parts: the initial pickup fee and the variable charge based on miles driven.

  1. The pickup fee is a flat rate of $5.
  2. The charge per mile driven is $1.50, and we denote the number of miles driven as \( m \).

Putting this together, the expression to represent the total cost \( C \) of the Uber ride is:

\[ C = 5 + 1.50m \]

So, the complete expression is \( C = 5 + 1.50m \).
