    Step-by-step explanation:

    Cost per quarter mile = $0.40

    Cost per mile = 0.40 * 4 = $ 1.60

    Let the distance traveled be x miles.

    A) $1.85 + $ 1.60 * x = 1.85 + 1.60x

    B) x = 8 miles

    1.85 + 1.6 * 8 = 1.85 + 12.8 = $ 14.65

    See below in bold.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A. C = 1.85 + 0.40n where n = a quarter of a mile.

    B. 8 miles = 8 * 4 = 32 quarter miles.

    So the cost for 1 person to travel 8 miles.

    = 1.85 + 32*0.40

    = $14.65
