Start with 0 miles. If you’ve traveled 0 miles, you haven’t driven at all yet, so you’ll just pay the cost for getting in the taxi. What’s the cost to get in the taxi?

To determine the cost of getting into the taxi when you have traveled 0 miles, we can analyze the cost structure based on the data provided. However, the table seems to be incomplete since the cost corresponding to 0 miles isn’t provided.

If we are presuming that the costs increase with distance, the cost to get in the taxi typically represents a base fare. This is generally a fixed initial charge.

Given the provided data points (missing the cost for 0 miles):

  • For 4 miles, there is likely a specific cost.
  • For 6 miles, there is also a specific cost.
  • For 8 miles, there is another cost.

We would need the actual cost values to identify the base fare for 0 miles. If you have the cost values for 4, 6, and 8 miles, please provide those, and I can help you determine the starting fare based on that information. If the values are commonly known fares in your area, you might already know the base fare.

Please provide the missing cost for 0 miles or the respective costs for the other mileages.
