Answer: 15.769 miles
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a checkered cab company charges a flat rate of $1.75 flat rate in addition to $0.65 per mile. Mandy has no more than $12.00 to spend on a cab ride.
Let the miles that Mandy can travel without exceeding her limit be represented by y.
The inequality will now be:
1.75 + 0.65y ≤ 12
0.65y ≤ 12 - 1.75
0.65y ≤ 10.25
y ≤ 10.25/0.65
y ≤ 15.769
Mandy can travel 15.769 miles without exceeding her limit?
