Question

A Taxi-cab company charges a flat rate of $1.75 plus $0.75 per mile. Jack has no more than $10 to spend on his cab ride.

What does the variable represent? Write the inequality.

Answer 1

rate for 1 mile is 1.75$+0.75$=2.50$

Jack has 10 $ to spend
when 2.50$ for 1 mile
so 10 $ for 10/2.50=4 mile he can travel
