The total cost for an 8.7-mile taxi ride, including a flat rate of $4.00 and a per-mile charge of $2.25, is approximately $23.58. This is calculated by adding the flat rate to the total distance charge. The calculations show that the cost per mile multiplied by the distance and added to the flat rate gives us the final amount.
