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

Respuesta :

Answer:

x  =  6  km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x  be  distance in km

The inequaqlity is

5  +  2.5*x   ≤  20     (1)

And the maximum distance  will be when the inequality (1) get the upper limit that means when  (1) becomes an equality

5  +  2.5x   =  20

 2.5 x   = 15

x  =  15/2.5

x  =  6  km
