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:

$1.75 + $0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The cab charges 0.25 for each mile, this can be represented as 0.25x. But to start with, the cab will charge 1.75 dollars for the flat free.

Therefore, the inequality would be:

1.75 +0.25x ≤ 15.

Solving this equation we get:

1.75 + 0.25x ≤ 15

0.25x ≤ 15 - 1.75

0.25x ≤ 13.25

x ≤ 13.25 / 0.25

x ≤ 53
