A cab company charges per cab ride, plus an additional $1
per mile driven. How long is a cab ride that costs $42?
Assuming $2.00 per cab ride:
2 + 1x = 42.
X =
Nndd
26=1•d+1.
26=d+1
25=d
To determine the length of the cab ride that costs $42, we need to find the distance traveled in miles. Let's assume the cost of the cab ride is for x miles.
According to the given information, the cab company charges an additional $1 per mile driven. So, the cost per mile is $1.
We can set up the equation to represent the cost of the cab ride:
Cab ride cost = Cost per mile * Distance traveled + Cost per ride
Plugging in the given values, we have:
$42 = $1 * x + Cost per ride
We know that the additional cost per ride is $1. Therefore, we can substitute it into the equation:
$42 = $1 * x + $1
Now, we can simplify the equation:
$42 = $x + $1
Subtracting $1 from both sides of the equation, we have:
$42 - $1 = $x
$41 = $x
To find the length of the cab ride, we need to convert the cost in dollars back to miles. Since the cost per mile is $1, the length of the cab ride is 41 miles.
