6km in total. That’s it i have to type extra cause makes me to
$2.50d+$5 is your answer
2.5d+5< or equal to 0
($2.50k) + $5
The distance you can ride is 6 kilometers.
($2.50 x 6) + $5 = $20
5+2.50x=20. per means x. 5 is b. 20 is your y.
it has to be u
In total you have $20.
Base fare of taxi is $5.
Per mile cost is $2.50.
Your total cost is [tex]5+2.5x[/tex] where x is the number of miles. Since you're on a budget of maximum $20, the cost should be less than or equal to $20. We can write:
[tex]5+2.5x\leq 20[/tex]
To find how many miles we can write, let's solve the inequality:
[tex]5+2.5x\leq20\\2.5x\leq20-5\\2.5x\leq15\\x\leq\frac{15}{2.5} \\x\leq6[/tex].
This means 6 is the maximum number of miles you can ride with $20.
ANSWER: Maximum 6 miles
$2.5x+$5.00=$20
x=6
2.5(6) + 5
15 + 5
20
The answer is 6
[tex]2.50d+5\leq 20[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent distance in kilometers.
We have been given that a taxi ride costs $2.50 per kilometer, so the cost of d kilometers would be [tex]2.50d[/tex] dollars.
We are also told that ride costs a fixed charge of $5, so total cost of d kilometers would be [tex]2.50d+5[/tex] dollars.
You have $20 to spend on taxi fare, so the total cost of riding d kilometers should be less than or equal to 20.
We can represent this information in an inequality as:
[tex]2.50d+5\leq 20[/tex]
Therefore, our required inequality would be [tex]2.50d+5\leq 20[/tex].
d = 6 km
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of a ride includes a fixed, up-front cost and a variable cost:
C(x) = $5.00 + ($2.50/km)x, where x is the number of kilometers covered.
Setting C(x) = $20, we get:
$20 = $5 + ($2.50/km)x
which needs to be solved for x:
$15 = ($2.50/km)x
Dividing both sides by ($2.50/km) yields
6 km = d
