Question

Checkered Cab Taxi charges a $ 5.95 flat rate for a ride in the cab. In addition to that, they charge $ 0.25 per mile. Katie has no more than $ 20 to spend on a ride. At most, how many miles can Katie travel without exceeding her spending limit?

Answer 1

Answer: 56.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

5.95+0-25x less or equal 20

0.25x less or equal 20 - 5.95

0.25x less or equal 14.05

X less or equal 14.05/0.25

X = 56.2

Answer 2

Katie can travel 56 miles at most
20-5.95= 14.05
14.05 ÷ 0.25 = 56.2
