The table shows the relationship between the number of miles traveled and the cost for Anand's taxicab company.

If Anand's taxicab company charges $25 for a 10-mile ride, we can calculate the cost per mile as follows:
Cost per mile = (Total cost - Pickup fee) / Miles traveled
Cost per mile = ($25 - $0) / 10 = $2.50/mile

Similarly, for a 20-mile ride:
Cost per mile = ($48 - $0) / 20 = $2.40/mile

For a 30-mile ride:
Cost per mile = ($71 - $0) / 30 = $2.37/mile

And for a 40-mile ride:
Cost per mile = ($94 - $0) / 40 = $2.35/mile

So, the cost per mile for Anand's taxicab company ranges from $2.50/mile for a 10-mile ride to $2.35/mile for a 40-mile ride.
