Quick comprehension check
“A taxi charges a base fare of $3.00 and $2.00 per mile. If a passenger takes a 7-mile trip and leaves a $2 tip, how much money will they have left if they started with a $30 bill? Show your calculations. A cab fare consists of a base charge of $2.50 and $2.50 per mile. If a passenger takes a 4-mile trip and gives a $1.50 tip, how much money will they have left if they started with a $25 bill? Show your calculations.”
