A taxi charges a flat rate of $3.00, plus an additional $0.50 per mile. Carl will only take the taxi home if the cost is under $10, otherwise he will take a bus. Carl is 16 miles from home. Explain how to write and solve an inequality to determine if Carl will take the taxi or a bus.

Take the bus to save money

Step-by-step explanation:

you plug x for 15, the inequality would be ($0.50 * 15) + $3 <  $10. We need a less than sign (<) because Carl says the price has to be under and not equal to.

$7.5 + $3 < $10. After you do simple math and add, you will know that Carl is short of money by 50 cents.

Hope this helps :)

Let the variable x be the number of miles. Then the problem can be modeled with the inequality 0.5x + 3 < 10,="" in="" which="">x is the number of miles. To solve, first subtract 3 from each
