Answer:
An inequality to determine Ariel can travel if she has $35 to spend is
and no. of miles Ariel can travel is 61 or less than 61
Explanation:
Given : A cab charges $1.45 for the flat fee and $0.55 for each mile.
To Find : Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Ariel can travel if she has $35 to spend.
Solution :
Fixed cost = $1.45
Cost of 1 mile = $0.55
Let m be the no. of miles
So, Cost of m miles = 0.55 m
So, Total cost = 1.45+0.55 m
She has $35 to spend.
So, she can spend $35 or less than 35
So, inequality becomes :





Hence an inequality to determine Ariel can travel if she has $35 to spend is
and no. of miles Ariel can travel is 61 or less than 61
