Query: I'm given that the cost of a taxi fare is made up of a fixed charge of $4.20 and 45 cents per mile travelled. How do I find the cost of a 30 mile journey?
Response: You'll need to work out 30 x 45 cents (use $0.45 in a calculator) and then add the $4.20 fixed charge to this.
The answer is $17.70.
