Question

I need help again! :( I keep getting stuck on these dumb questions!
A cab charges $1.50 for the first mile and $0.50 for each additional mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Sharon can travel if she has $25 to spend. (2 points)

$0.50 + $1.50x ≤ $25; x ≤ 16 miles
$0.50 + $1.50x ≥ $25; x ≥ 16 miles
$1.50 + $0.50x ≤ $25; x ≤ 47 miles
$1.50 + $0.50x ≥ $25; x ≥ 47miles

Answer 1

Is the answer C maybe?

Answer 2

If she has only $25 to spend, you couldn't have an inequality that is >25, correct? That rules out (b) and (d). Think about which charge is the fixed and which is the variable. The variable costs are always the ones attached to the variable.

Answer 3

@SaviClouse is correct

Answer 4

Okay, Thank you!
