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

Answer 1

c

Answer 2

So x=# of miles
1.50 +.50x >= 25
.50x >= 23.50
x >=47
So she can go to maximum of 47 miles
>= is greater or equal to-

Answer 3

oops, x <= 47
so it is c
