Santiago is such a memorable character because he is determined to succeed despite his recent failures.

Explanation:

Santiago is a central character of one of Earnest Hemingway’s novel, ‘The old man and the sea.’ This novel depicts a story of Santiago who’s an old fisherman and who wasn’t being able to catch a fish for 84 days straight.

The reason by Santiago is such a memorable character of the story lies in his determination. Despite being so old and despite his several failures, he continues to go on for fishing. And eventually he was able to catch a big marlin fish. The fish was so big that even his boat couldn’t handle its size.

Santiago’s character depicts that if a man is determined enough to reach his goal, no force can stop him from achieving it.

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
