A taxi cab charges an initial fee of $3.50. Each 1/8 mile costs $0.23. Write an equation for the total cost, c, depending on the number of miles, m, you drove.

3.50 + 1.84m = c

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 0.23 by 8 to get 1.84, the cost per mile.

Multipy that my m, the miles you drove.

Then add the initial fee of 3.50.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
