A taxi charges a flat rate of $1.50 with an additional charge of $0.80 per mile. Samantha wants to spend less than $12 on a ride. Which inequality can be used to find the distance Samantha can travel?

Set up the travel cost equation where m is the number of miles:
C(m) = 0.8m + 1.50

If Samantha wants to spend less than 12 per ride, we have an inequality where C(m) < 12:
0.8m + 1.50 < 12
