Answer:
Stu can travel 38 miles with his $20
Explanation:
Given that Stu is riding a cab that charges $2.00 for a ride bus plus $0.55 per mile.
The total amount the cab charges can be represented by the expression:
2 + 0.55m
where m is the number of miles
Stu has only $20, to find the number of miles he can travel without exceeding the limit of his money, we have the inequality:
[tex]2+0.55m\le20[/tex]Solving for m, we have the number of miles
Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality
[tex]0.55m\le18[/tex]Divide both sides by 0.55
[tex]m\le\frac{18}{0.55}=37.727[/tex]This is approximately 38 miles
