HELP ME HELP !!! Please Which of the following examples best reveals Shlemiel's character traits?

A) I'm always misplacing things. A hundred times I asked myself, Where is my pen? Where is my money Where is
my handkerchief? Where is my address book? I am what is known as an absent minded professor)

B) A taxi drove by and splattered us both, Suddenly it stopped and I heard someone shouting, "Shlemiel,
Shlemiell", I looked up and saw the taxi door open, and the head of a friend of mine appeared,

C) In the drugstore, I found a telephone book, but when I looked under 5, I saw to my horror that though there
were a number of Shlemiels listed, I was not among them. At that moment i recalled that several months
before, Mrs. Shlemiel had decided that we should have an unlisted telephone number,

Explanation:

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
