4. A taxi company charges passengers $2.00 for a ride, no matter how long the ride is, and an additional $0.20 for each mile traveled. The rule c = 0.20m + 2.00 describes the relationship between the number of miles m and the total cost of the ride c.
a. What is the charge for a 1-mile ride?
b. What is the charge for a 2.7-mile ride?

A. $2.20; $2.54

B. $0.20; $0.54

C. $2.00; $2.20

D. $0.20; $5.60

A. $2.20; $2.54

Step-by-step explanation:

A. $2.20; $2.54

Step-by-step explanation:

It should give you 2.54.

First, you have to multiply 2.7 miles times .20 miles. It gives you .54, which you are supposed to add 2.00 to it for every ride.

c =0.20m + 2.00

Where c is the cost and m = number of miles,

For a 2.7 mile ride, m = 2.7

c  = 0.20m + 2.00,    m = 2.7

c = 0.20*2.7 + 2

c = 0.54 + 2

c = 2.54

Charge for the ride = $2.54

I hope this helps.

the answer is 13 cm
