Answer:
I think it's 53 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
After flat fee of $1.75 leaves him $13.25. Then use the remainder to calculate miles. Each dollar allows 4 miles × 13 = 52+1=53
Answer:
The inequality is:
[tex]1.75+0.25x\leq 15[/tex]
The solution of the inequality is:
[tex]x\leq 53[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Eddie could travel x miles.
It is given that:
A cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile.
This means that the fee charged by Eddie if he travels x miles excluding the flat fee is:
$ 0.25x
Total amount the cab will charge Eddie is:
1.75+0.25x
Also, it is given that:
He has only $ 15 to spend this means that he can spend no more than 15 on riding in a cab.
Hence, the inequality is given by:
[tex]1.75+0.25x\leq 15[/tex]
Now on solving the inequality i.e. finding the possible values of x from the inequality.
We subtract both side of the inequality by 1.75 to obtain:
[tex]0.25x\leq 13.25[/tex]
Now on dividing both side of the inequality by 0.25 we get:
[tex]x\leq 53[/tex]
Hence, Eddie could travel less than or equal to 53 miles .
