jim ’ s taxi service charges an initial fee of $ 2.05 at the beginning of a trip and an additional charge of $ 0.35 for each 2 / 5 of a mile traveled . what is the total charge for a trip of 3.6 miles ?
let the fixed charge of jim ’ s taxi service = 2.05 $ and charge per 2 / 5 mile ( . 4 mile ) = . 35 $ total charge for a trip of 3.6 miles = 2.05 + ( 3.6 / . 4 ) * . 35 = 2.05 + 9 * . 35 = 5.2 $ answer a
add(2.05, multiply(0.35, divide(3.6, divide(2, 5))))
