Question

You have $20 to spend on taxi fare. The ride costs $5 plus $2.50 per

kilometer.
Write an inequality to determine the distance in kilometers, d, you can
ride for $20.
What is the maximum distance, in kilometers, you can ride for $20?
kilometers

Answer 1

Answer: Therefore, the maximum distance you can ride for $20 is 6 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation: The inequality to determine the distance in kilometers, d, you can ride for $20 is:

$5 + $2.50d ≤ $20

Simplifying the above inequality, we get:

$2.50d ≤ $15

Dividing both sides by $2.50, we get:

d ≤ 6
