Answer:
Maximum distance covered by John = 22.8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The cab company charges a flat fee of $2.25 plus $0.55 per mile.
Amount of money John has = $y
Let the number of miles traveled in $y = x miles
If John finds a cab charging same fee and $0.45 per mile,
y ≤ 2.25 + 0.45x
y - 2.25 ≤ 0.45x
Therefore, inequality representing the maximum distance covered by John,
If, y = $12.52
x ≤ 22.8 miles
Therefore, John will be able to travel the maximum distance = 22.8 miles.
