Answers
Given :- A taxi service charges $1.00 for the first 1/10 mile then $0.10 for each additional 1/10 mile after that. How much does it cost to go 2 miles in the taxi ?
Solution :-
→ charge for first (1/10) mile = $1
then,
→ distance left = 2 miles - (1/10) miles = (20 - 1)/10 = (19/10) miles .
Now,
→ charge for each additional 1/10 mile = $0.10
then,
→ charge for each additional 1 mile = $(0.10 * 10) = $1
So,
→ charge for each additional 19/10 mile = 1 * (19/10) = $(1.9)
therefore,
→ Total cost for 2 miles = 1.9 + 1 = $2.9 (Ans.)
