Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per quarter mile = $0.40

Cost per mile = 0.40 * 4 = $ 1.60

Let the distance traveled be x miles.

A) $1.85 + $ 1.60 * x = 1.85 + 1.60x

B) x =8 miles

1.85 + 1.6 * 8 = 1.85 + 12.8 = $ 14.65

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.  C = 1.85 + 0.40n where n = a quarter of a mile.

B. 8 miles =  8 * 4 = 32 quarter miles.

So the cost for 1 person to travel 8 miles.

= 1.85 + 32*0.40

= $14.65
