Apilot takes a taxi from the airport to a hotel the taxi driver charges a $2.50 initial charge plus $2.65 per mile. which equation can be used to find y, the total cost of the trip, if x represents the number of miles of the trip?

Given that charge per mile of the taxi = $2.65

number of miles of the trip is represented by x

Then cost per mile of the tripe will be product of "per mile cost" and the "number of miles". Which is 2.65x

Given that initial charge of the taxi = $2.50

Total cost will be sum of initial cost and the per mile cost so final answer is given by:

y = 2.65x + 2.50

Hence choice A is correct.

can i see the following ?
