B
$2.25 + $0.25x ≤ $8.00

C
$2.25 + $1.00x ≥ $8.00

D
$2.25 + $1.00x ≤ $8.00

Why would you use 1.0x?

Could the person travel farther than the $8.00 would allow?

Now, what do you think the answer is?

Why did you choose that answer?

Answered by Ms. K
0.25 is for 1/4 of a mile. Multiply it by 4. So $1 for each mile, as x is the number of miles
