After Sergio is done visiting the Empire State Building and walking around he will go yo: the Statue of Liberty (6.1 miles from the Empire State). the hotel (21.1 miles from the Statue of Liberty). How much would Sergio have spent on transportation using UberRUSH at the end of the day?

Sagot :

Supposing a linear function for the UberRUSH cost, we find that Sergio would have spent $23.6 in transportation.

The linear function for the UberRUSH cost has the following format:

[tex]C(m) = C(0) + am[/tex]

In which:

  • C(0) is the fixed fee.
  • a is the cost per mile.

Supposing a fixed fee of $10 plus $0.5 per mile, we have that [tex]C(0) = 10, a = 0.5[/tex], and:

[tex]C(m) = 10 + 0.5m[/tex]

Sergio will use UberRUSH for 6.1 + 21.1 = 27.2 miles, thus, the cost is of:

[tex]C(27.2) = 10 + 0.5(27.2) = 23.6[/tex]

Sergio would have spent $23.6 in transportation.
