Answer
Uber
Work Step by Step
We find the initial cost for each company. For Uber:
$$ =1.25+(2.89)(5) = 15.7$$
For the taxi:
$$ =4.75+(2.55)(5) =17.5$$
For Lyft:
$$ = 2.6+ (2.76)(5) =16.4$$
We divide the cost by 5 miles to get the cost per mile. For Uber:
$$=15.7\div 5 = 3.14$$
For the taxi:
$$ = 17.5\div 5 =3.5$$
For the Lyft:
$$ =16.4\div 5 = 3.28$$
The best deal is the Uber.
