1. Problem Description

A taxi journey costs £9£9 upfront, and then £2£2 for every mile travelled. We need to find the cost for journey lengths of 1, 2, and 3 miles, denoted by A, B, and C, respectively.

2. Solution Steps

The total cost of the journey can be expressed as:
Cost=9+2×MilesCost = 9 + 2 \times Miles
To find A, the cost for 1 mile:
A=9+2×1=9+2=11A = 9 + 2 \times 1 = 9 + 2 = 11
To find B, the cost for 2 miles:
B=9+2×2=9+4=13B = 9 + 2 \times 2 = 9 + 4 = 13
To find C, the cost for 3 miles:
C=9+2×3=9+6=15C = 9 + 2 \times 3 = 9 + 6 = 15

3. Final Answer

A = 11
B = 13
C = 15
