D.Granny Weatherall's daughter at her bedside.

In "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall," we see that Granny is accompanied constantly by Cornelia, who remains at her bedside. Cornelia is one of Granny's daughters. Throughout the story, Cornelia's behaviour and her "goodness" annoys Granny, who is not very patient. Granny also believes that Cornelia mocks her, and that she is not a very good housekeeper. However, the reader can see that Cornelia is in fact a very sweet woman, and that she is devastated about the prospect of losing her mother.

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
