Question

7/20
2nd attempt
yellow cab taxi charges a $1.75 flat rate in addition to $0.65 per mile. katie has no more than $10 to spend on the taxi ride.
1.75 + 0.65m ≥ 10
1.75m + 0.65 ≤ 10
1.75m + 0.65 ≥ 10
1.75 + 0.65m ≤ 10

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the cost structure

The flat rate is $1.75, and the cost per mile is $0.65. Let \( m \) be the number of miles. The total cost is the flat rate plus the cost per mile times the number of miles, so total cost \( C = 1.75 + 0.65m \).

Step2: Determine the inequality

Katie has no more than $10 to spend, which means the total cost LXI0 must be less than or equal to $10. So the inequality is \( 1.75 + 0.65m \leq 10 \).

Answer:

\( 1.75 + 0.65m \leq 10 \) (the fourth option, assuming the options are presented in the order shown: 1. \( 1.75 + 0.65m \geq 10 \), 2. \( 1.75m + 0.65 \leq 10 \), 3. \( 1.75m + 0.65 \geq 10 \), 4. \( 1.75 + 0.65m \leq 10 \))
