A cab charges $1.45 for the flat fee and $0.55 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Ariel can travel if she has $35 to spend. $1.45 + $0.55x ≥ $35; x ≥ 61 miles $1.45 + $0.55x ≤ $35; x ≤ 61 miles $0.55 + $1.45x ≥ $35; x ≥ 23 miles $0.55 + $1.45x ≤ $35; x ≤ 23 miles
Accepted Solution
A:
Hello! So, the $1.45 is a one time fee. The $0.55 is what goes up per each mile driven. C and D are out, because the $1.45 does not multiply per mile. Ariel has $35 to spend and can't spend anymore than that. This problem written out is $1.45 + $0.55x <= 35.The answer is B.
