A taxi charges a flat rate of 1.75, plus an additional 0.65 per mile. If Erica has at most 10 to spend on the cab ride, how far could she travel?
Setup an equation where x is the number of miles traveled:
0.65x + 1.75 = 10
Subtract 1.75 from each side:
0.65x = 8.25
Divide each side by 0.65
x = 12.69 miles
If we do full miles, we round down to 12.
