Answer:

The correct answer is "B."

Step-by-step explanation:

The fixed amount is $5, and the fee is $3 because the fee is based on the distance traveled. For every mile the price goes up by $3. That means that you get a fixed amount charged at the beginning, which is $5. Then you get a fee for every mile driven which is $3 per mile.

The question is, "What is the fixed amount charged?" The fixed amount is $5 which is choice "B."
