Kevin and his three best friends went to a jacksonville jaguars game. The cab ride from the hotel, to the stadium costs 1.85 per person. In addition, the cab ride will cost 1.15 per .5 mile. The total distance from the hotel to the stadium is two miles. How much would each person pay if they split the cost evenly?

If they Split the cost evenly then each person has to pay 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of friends = 4

Cab ride per person = 1.85

Additional Cab ride per 0.5 mile = 1.15

Number of miles = 2 miles

We need to find the amount share by each person for Cab ride.

Solution:

Cab ride per person = 1.85

so 4 person = Cost for Cab ride for 4 person.

Using Unitary method we get;

Cost for Cab ride for 4 person =

Now we know that;

Additional Cab ride per 0.5 mile = 1.15

so for 2 miles = Cost of Cab ride for 2 miles.

Again by using Unitary method we get;

Cost of Cab ride for 2 miles =

Total cost for cab ride is equal to sum of Cost for Cab ride for 4 person and Cost of Cab ride for 2 miles,

Total cost for cab ride =

Now we will find the cost distributed evenly among the friends.

cost distributed evenly among the friends can be calculated by dividing Total cost for cab ride from Number of friends.

framing in equation form we get;

cost distributed evenly among the friends =

Hence If they Split the cost evenly then each person has to pay 3.
