    If x is the variable for the miles and y is the variable for the total cost then the equation would be

    y=2.65x (because it is "per mile") + 2.50 (flat fee)

    X is the number of miles.

    The per mile charge is $2.65 per mile, so for x miles, the per mile charge is 2.65x.

    The fixed charge is the initial charge of $2.50.

    The total charge is the fixed charge plus the per mile charge.

    y = 2.50 + 2.65x
