Question

A taxi cab charges $0.55 per mile in addition to a $1.75 flat rate fee. Susie has $10 to spend on a taxi cab ride. The taxi driver will not give anyone a ride unless they are going somewhere that is more than 2 miles away. Model Susie’s situation with a system of inequalities.

Answer 1

So its 1.75*0.55 and whatever you get divided by the 
total

Answer 2

0.55(2)+1.75 is less than or equal to 0.55x+1.75
0.55x+1.75 is less than or equal to 0.55(15)+1.75
0.55(2)+1.75 can be simplified to 2.85 and 0.55(15) can be simplified to 10
she can spend anywhere between $2.85 and $10
