Question

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.

$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

First, write a linear expression for the cost of the cab ride.
This cost has a fixed component ($25) and a variable component ($0.50 per additional mile) times the number of additional miles).

Answer 2

I would have to say choice C

Answer 3

why

Answer 4

C

Answer 5

$1.50 + $0.50x ≤ $25; x ≤ 47 miles

Answer 6

1.50 is the fee, which will be your y-intercept, it's what you start with.
0.50 will become 0.50x, where x = additional miles. And 0.50 is your slope.
And it also says how far she can travel with $25. So ≤ 25

Answer 7

We have: $1.50 + $0.50x and So ≤ 25.

Answer 8

let x be the no of miles.for each xtra mile its 0.50 =0.50x
1.50+0.50x is less then or equal to $25

Answer 9

thanks guys wich one the best respose
