A cab charges $1.45 for the flat fee and $0.55 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Ariel can travel if she has $35 to spend. please help!

Respuesta :

The answer is 1.45 + 0.55x ≤ $35; x ≤ 61

x - a number of miles

T - the total amount
T ≤ $35
T = 1.45 + 0.55x

1.45 + 0.55x ≤ 35
0.55x ≤ 35 - 1.45
0.55x ≤ 33.55
x ≤ 33.55 : 0.55
x ≤ 61 miles
