On Tuesday and Wednesday, cab fare cost $7.75 total. If Monday and Thursday cost $6.30 each, and Friday cost $7.00, what was the average daily cost?

  1. $5.47

  2. $5.35

  3. $6.05

  4. $7.02

The correct answer is: $5.47

To determine the average daily cost, you first need to find the total cost over the week and then divide that by the number of days, which is seven. You start with the total cab fare: - On Tuesday and Wednesday, the total fare is $7.75. - On Monday and Thursday, the fare for each day is $6.30, totaling $12.60 for both days. - On Friday, the fare is $7.00. Adding all these amounts together gives you the total for the week: \[ 7.75 \, (Tuesday \& Wednesday) + 12.60 \, (Monday \& Thursday) + 7.00 \, (Friday) = 27.35 \] Now you divide this total by the number of days, which is 7: \[ \frac{27.35}{7} \approx 3.9057 \] It appears there may have been an error in basic calculations, as this is not aligned with the choices given. To ensure accurate calculations, we should correctly determine the day's cost and recheck: The total calculated as follows: 1. Tuesday and Wednesday: \(7.75\) 2. Monday and Thursday:
