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?
A taxi charges $2.25 for a ride, plus $0.25 for every 1/4 mile. Which inequality represents how many miles, x, a person could travel with $8.00?
A
$2.25 + $0.25x ≥ $8.00
B
$2.25 + $0.25x ≤ $8.00
C
$2.25 + $1.00x ≥ $8.00
D
$2.25 + $1.00x ≤ $8.00
