3.) Timothy's Taxi Company charges customers a total cost, t, for a taxi ride based on m, the

number of miles traveled. Katie has $11 to spend on her taxi ride. She creates the inequality
below. 3.50 + 2.50m st When t equals 11, which of the following is the most complete set of
values for m in the inequality?
A. {3}
B. {5}
C. {1, 2}
D. {1, 2, 3}


Please help me with this

Answer 1

D) {1, 2, 3}

Explanation:

Simply solve for m given our equation:

11 = 3.50 + 2.50m

Start by subtracting 3.50 on both sides:

7.5 = 2.50m

Next, divide by 2.50 on both sides to obtain our value for m:

3 = m

Now since we're looking for a complete set of values, we have to consider all values that are 3 and below for m. This makes D) our answer
