Respuesta :

m must equal (19.5÷7) plus 2 dollars

Answer: Cost per mile m = $4.78.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Pick up rate = $2

Charges for a 7 mile trip = $19.50

Charges for a mile trip would be

[tex]\dfrac{19.50}{7}\\\\=2.78[/tex]

So, amount of taxi's drivers is given by

[tex]\$2.78+\$2\\\\=\$4.78[/tex]

Hence, cost per mile m = $4.78.
