a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

The fixed charges for the pick up = $3

Charges per mile = $1.50

Let s denote the total miles driven and t be the total cost for the trip

This can be represented by the equation

t = 3 + 1.5s

Step 2:

Distance traveled by Jonathan in his trip = 10 miles

So cost for riding 10 miles is

t = 3 + 1.5(10) = 3 + 15 = $18

The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

Step 3 :

If the distance traveled is m miles, then substituting s = m in the above equation we get the cost as 1.5 m + 3

Step 4 :

Answer :

a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3

9) Gabe has a 40¢-off coupon for any kind of popcorn. He can choose

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Per ounce better buy is Happy popcorn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Happy popcorn price for 16 ounces = $1.39

Popper popcorn price for 34 ounces = $2.79

Discount coupon present with Gabe = 40 ¢ = $0.40

To find:

Which brand is the better buy per ounce?

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the price that Gabe has to pay after the discount coupon being applied.

Price for 16 ounces of Happy popcorn after discount = $1.29 - $0.40 = $0.99

Price for 1 ounce of Happy popcorn after discount = $\frac{\$0.99}{16}$ = $0.062

Price for 34 ounces of Popper popcorn after discount = $2.79 - $0.40 = $2.39

Price for 1 ounce of Popper popcorn after discount = $\frac{\$2.39}{34}$ = $0.070

Clearly, per ounce price of Happy popcorn is lesser than that of Popper popcorn.

Therefore per ounce better buy is Happy popcorn.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The ordered pair is $(-2,3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=x+5\\y=-2x-1\\\implies x+5=-2x-1\\\implies 3x=-6\\\boxed{x=-2}\\\implies y=-2+5=\boxed {3}\\$
