2013 AMC 10A Problems/Problem 1

A taxi ride costs 0.25 per mile traveled. How much does a 5-mile taxi ride cost?

Solution

There are five miles needed to be traveled, and there is 1.50 needed to be paid in addition to .25 dollars per mile. So, .25*5 + 1.50= 1.25+1.50= 2.75

So, the answer is $2.75 (C)
