Rasheed takes a taxi in pittsburgh for 5.6 miles. the initial charge is $5.00 and you are charged $2.10 per mile. the driver automatically calculates a 15% tip and adds it to the cost. what is the total cost of the taxi ride? _

T= total taxi cost
m= # of miles

Multiply the quantity (1 plus the tip) times ((mileage charge times the number of miles) plus the initial fee.)

T= (1 + 15% tip )($2.10m + $5 fee)
T= (1.15)[(2.10)(5.6) + 5]
T= (1.15)(11.76 + 5)
T= (1.15)(16.76)
T= $19.27

Total taxi ride is $19.27.

Hope this helps! :)
