Answer
Taxi
Work Step by Step
We find the initial cost for each company. For Uber:
$$=1.25+(2.89)(20)=59.05$$
For the taxi:
$$=4.75+(2.55)(20)=55.75$$
For Lyft:
$$=2.6+(2.76)(20)=57.8$$
We divide the cost by 5 miles to get the cost per mile. For Uber:
$$\frac{59.05}{20}=2.95$$
For the taxi:
$$ =\frac{55.75}{20}=2.79$$
For the Lyft:
$$ =\frac{57.8}{20} = 2.89$$
The taxi is the best deal.
