HELP ME PLEASE I NEED HELP...


A cab charges $1.50 for the flat fee and $0.50 for each 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

It would be the third one because 25 is the max she can spend so whatever the other side is, it has to be less than 25. $1.50 is the base price, so you have $1.50 + $0.50x, which represents the base price plus an additional $0.50 for every mile

50 cents a mile so for x miles it cost .5x

and she can spend at most $25 so \[1.50+.5x\leq 25\]
