Given:
Base Charge of the taxi = $3.00
Charge of the ride per mile = $0.15
The base fee here is constant, irrespective of the distance covered.
Therefore, the cost of a 3.4 mile ride will be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (0.15\ast\text{ 3.4) }+\text{ \$3} \\ =0.51\text{+ \$3 = \$}3.51 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the cost of a 3.4 mile ride will be $3.51
ANSWER:
$3.51
