Problem

A taxi ride costs $1.50 plus $0.25 per mile traveled. How much does a 5-mile taxi ride cost?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 2.25 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2.50  \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2.75 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 3.00 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 3.75$


Solution

There are five miles which need to be traveled. The cost of these five miles is $(0.25\cdot5) = 1.25$. Adding this to $1.50$, we get \boxed{\textbf{(C) }2.75}$
