Answer

9.42 dollars

Work Step by Step

We find the cost for a ten mile ride for each company. For Uber: $$=7.25+(2.89)(38) \\ = 117.07$$ For the taxi: $$ = 10.75+ (38)(2.55) \\ = 107.65$$ For the Lyft: $$ =8.6+ (2.76)(38) \\ = 113.48$$ By getting a taxi, the amount you would save over the Uber is: $$ 117.07-107.65 \\ = 9.42$$
