You have \$20$20dollar sign, 20 to spend on taxi fare. The ride costs \$5$5dollar sign, 5 plus \$2.50$2.50dollar sign, 2, point, 50 per kilometer. Write an inequality to determine the distance in kilometers, ddd, you can ride for \$20$20dollar sign, 20. What is the maximum distance, in kilometers, you can ride for \$20

6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

You have $20 to spend on taxi fee. The ride costs $5 plus $ 2.50 per kilometer. Write an inequality to determine the distance in kilometers, that, you can ride for $20. What is the maximum distance, in kilometers, you can ride for $20.

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

So, we have to add $5 and the product of 2.50 and the number of kilometers (x) to obtain the total cost.

That expression must be less or equal to the budget (20).

Mathematically speaking

5+2.5x ≤20

Solving:

2.5x ≤20-5

2.5 x ≤15

x ≤ 15/2.5

x ≤ 6  kilometers
