Question

Which inequality can be used to represent this scenario?

Mikael needs to rent a scooter to get to work. The scooter charges $1.85 to activate it and $0.50 per mile Mikael has a gift card for
$10 and he can not spend more on the scooter
O 10 < 0.502 +1.85
O 10 < 1.85.1 +0.50
O 10 > 1.852 +0.50
O 10 > 0.503 +1.85

Answer 1

`10 > 1.85 + 0.5m`

Explanation:

Price of the scooter:

Fixed price of $1.85 to activate plus $0.50 for each mile. This situation can be represented by a linear function, and it is given by:

`P(m) = 1.85 + 0.5m`

Mikael has a gift card for $10 and he can not spend more on the scooter.

The spendings have to be less than 10. So

`10 > P(m)`

`10 > 1.85 + 0.5m`
