A cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Eddie can travel if he has $15 to spend.

a. $1.75 + $0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 miles
b. $1.75 + $0.25x ≥ $15; x ≥ 53 miles
c. $0.25 + $1.75x ≤ $15; x ≤ 8 miles
d. $0.25 + $1.75x ≥ $15; x ≥ 8 miles

$1.75 + $0.25x ≤ $15; x < 53

So the first one. Because you must pay the flat fee, and then for x miles you must pay $0.25. When you do (15-1.75) / 0.25 the answer is 53.

Answer: $1.75+$0.25x ≤ $15; x ≤ 53 miles

This is correct because I just took the test and this is the right one!!
