Plz :( A Taxi cab costs $1.50 for the first mile and $0.75 for each additional mile. Which equation could be solved to find how many miles you can travel for $10, given that “x” is the number of additional miles? (Also solve this equation for the number of additional miles.) A. 1.5x +0.75 = 10; x =6.17 B. 0.75x + 1.5 = 10; x = 11.333.. C. 1.5x -0.75 =10; x =7.17 D. 0.75x – 1.5 =10; x =15.33

A cab charges $1.50 for the flat fee and $0.50 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Sharon can travel if she has $25 to spend.

Write an inequality for each problem and solve. A taxi in a large city charges $\$ 2.50$ plus $\$ 0.40$ for every $\frac{1}{5}$ of a mile. How many miles can you go if you have $\$ 14.50 ?$.
