Worked Examples

Example 1: Car Traveling on I-95

For a car traveling 50 miles on I-95:

  • Distance: 50 miles
  • Rate per Mile: $0.10
  • Fixed Fee: $1.00

Calculation: (50 × $0.10) + $1.00 = $5.00 + $1.00 = $6.00

Example 2: Truck Traveling on I-75

For a truck traveling 75 miles on I-75:

  • Distance: 75 miles
  • Rate per Mile: $0.15
