A taxi company is holding a 3-day promo-
tion, from Monday to Wednesday, whereby
a passenger can hire a taxi for $2.50 plus
$0.05 per mile driven, for any one-way trip.
If Ellie lives 40 miles from work, and gas
costs her $4.00 per gallon, and her car has a
fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon, how
much would she save by using the taxi ser-
vice to commute to and from work during
the promotional period? Assume she doesn't
have any other car-related expenses for the
3-day period, if she drives.
F. $5.00
G. $12.50

J. $20.00
