Answer:

  • B: 10

Explanation:

Full charge can be expressed as equation:

  • c = 2.5 + 0.75m, where c- charge, m- miles

The limit for charge is $13, then we got inequality:

  • 0.75m + 2.5 ≤ 13
  • 0.75m ≤ 9.5
  • m ≤ 9.5/0.75
  • m ≤ 12.66

Option B: 10 is correct as the only number satisfying the inequality
