Cabs R’ Us charges $2.00 plus an additional
$3.00 per mile for a ride. Call A Cab charges
$4.00 plus an additional $3.00 per mile for a
ride. At what distance, in miles, will the cost
be the same for both companies?
There is not one distance where the cost would be the same. The reason is because the price per mile is the same, but the extra charges are different. This means that no matter when the distance is the same, the cost would always be different.
