Question

A taxi charges a flat rate of $3.00, plus an additional $0.50 per mile. Carl will only take the taxi home if the cost is under $10, otherwise he will take a bus. Carl is 15 miles from home. Explain how to write and solve an inequality to determine if Carl will take the taxi or a bus

Answer 1

Carl will pay 10.5$ because 15x .50 is 7.5.
7.5+3= 10.5

Answer 2

Carl will take the bus.

Explanation:

$3.00 + ($.50 x 15) = $10.5
