The cost of a taxi is $2.75 plus $0.40 per half mile. write an equation to find the cost of a taxi ride that is m miles long how much would it cost you to travel 45 miles m=#miles c=#cost 1.c stand for a. cost b. circle 2.what is the equation? a. c=-0.4m+2.75 b. c=0.4m+2.75 3.what is the solution? a.$6.35 b.$6.25

1) It tells you in the question c = cost, so cost would be the answer

2) 2.75 is the fixed rate so we would keep it as is. C is the cost which would the total, so c = ?m + 2.75
0.40 per half mile so you put 0.40m because it varies depending on the amount of miles
That makes the equation c = 0.40m + 2.75

3) Now to find how much it costs for 45 miles, you plug 45 for m
c = 0.4 * 45 + 2.75
c = 20.75
Not sure why it isn't an option
