Mathematical Models Problem Solving

A taxicab driver charges a flat rate of $2.50 plus $1.50 per mile. The fare F (in dollars) is a function of the distance driven, x (in miles). What is the independent and dependent variables in the situation?

• Independent variable is the fare and dependent is the miles driven

• Independent variable is the miles driven and the dependent is the fare.

• Independent is $2.50 and dependent is $1.50

• Independent variable is the taxi driver and the dependent variable is the passenger.
