Respuesta :

According to the given information, it is found that the cost to take a taxi from the hotel to the airport is of $9.75.

How is the cost divided?

  • $1.25 for the first 0.2 miles, as [tex]\frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex].
  • $0.25 for each additional 0.2 miles.

In this problem, the distance is of 7 miles, hence the cost is:

  • $1.25 for the first 0.2 miles.
  • 34 additional costs of $0.25, as there will be 34 intervals of 0.2 miles, since [tex]\frac{6.8}{0.2} = 34[/tex].

Then:

[tex]C = 1.25 + 34(0.25) = 9.75[/tex]

The cost to take a taxi from the hotel to the airport is of $9.75.
