Answer:
53 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume "$0.25 for each time" is "$0.25 per mile."
$1.75 is the flat fee. It costs 25 cents for each mile. We can represent this as:
1.75 + 0.25m
The sum of this equation has to be less than or equal to $15. We can display this as:
1.75 + 0.25m ≤ 15.
To solve, we must first isolate 0.25m. To do this, we subtract 1.75 from each side.
0.25m ≤ 15 - 1.75
0.25m ≤ 13.25.
Now, we must isolate the variable 'm' to determine how many miles Eddie can travel. To do this, we divide 0.25 from each side.
m ≤ 13.25 / 0.25
m ≤ 53.
Therefore, Eddie can travel 53 miles if he has $15 to spend.
