A cab charges $1.45 for the first mile and $0.55 for each additional mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Ariel can travel if she has $35 to spend.

Answer 1

A.$1.45 + $0.55x ≥ $35; x ≥ 61 miles

B. $1.45 + $0.55x ≤ $35; x ≤ 61 miles

C.$0.55 + $1.45x ≥ $35; x ≥ 23 miles

D. $0.55 + $1.45x ≤ $35; x ≤ 23 miles

Answer 5

Let x be the number of miles Ariel can travel.
The initial charge (1.45) plus the charge for every mile x*0.55 chould be inferior to $35.

Answer 6

Ok

Answer 7

So far we can cancel out Answers C and D

Answer 8

So would the answer be A?

Answer 9

Actually this gives you all you need, you just need to put in mathematical form.
A tells you that that sum should be superior, so no.

Answer 10

no - she can only spend up to 35 dollars
