Question

A cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Eddie can travel if he has $15 to
spend.

$1.75 + $0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 miles
$1.75 + $0.25x ≥ $15; x ≥ 53 miles
$0.25 + $1.75x ≤ $15; x ≤ 8 miles
$0.25 + $1.75x ≥ $15; x ≥ 8 miles

Answer 1

Answer 2

sign has to be ≤ because he can only spend up to $15

Answer 3

♥ A. $1.75 + $0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 miles ♥
Because since the flat rate is $1.75 that is automatically on one side of the '+' sign.
Then you have $0.25 for every mile, if x represents the amount of miles then you end up with $0.25x ($0.25 * the amount of miles)
The number of miles he travels has to be less than or equal to (≤) $15.
Then he has to be sure to travel less than or equal to (≤) 53 miles to stay within his limit.
