A taxi cab costs $1.75 for the first mile and $0.75 for each additional mile. You have $20 to spend on your ride. Which inequality could be solved to find how many miles you can travel, if n is the number of additional miles? A 1.75n + 0.75 ≤ 20 B 1.75n + 0.75 ≥ 20 C 0.75n + 1.75 ≥ 20 D 0.75n + 1.75 ≤ 2

Sheldon Huffman · Answer 1

n = the number of miles traveled

0.75n + 1.75 ≤ 20 Option D

[costs $0.75 for each additional mile (n) plus $1.75 for the first mile less than or equal to $20 (because you have a maximum of $20 and you can't spend more than that) ]
