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.

A $0.50 + $1.50x ≤ $25; x ≤ 16 miles

B $0.50 + $1.50x ≥ $25; x ≥ 16 miles

C $1.50 + $0.50x ≤ $25; x ≤ 47 miles

D $1.50 + $0.50x ≥ $25; x ≥ 47miles

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.


A $0.50 + $1.50x ≤ $25; x ≤ 16 miles

B $0.50 + $1.50x ≥ $25; x ≥ 16 miles

C $1.50 + $0.50x ≤ $25; x ≤ 47 miles

 D $1.50 + $0.50x ≥ $25; x ≥ 47miles

mehek14 · Answer

1.50 is like the y-intercept so no variables added to it

mehek14 · Answer

0.50 depends on the number of miles so 0.50x

mehek14 · Answer

so y = 1.50 + 0.50x will be your equation

mehek14 · Answer

so now which answer choices can you eliminate?
