Sub: REQUEST FOR CONTINUAL OF SSCE REGISTRATION FEE PAYMENT BY THE STATE GOVERNMENT

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you as a concerned student and a responsible citizen of this country regarding a recent order that was issued regarding the stopping the payment of SSCE Registration Fees which supports the senior school certification examinations from the government. I would like to point out the following consequences and the reasons why you should continue with this good gesture.

Firstly, I come from a poor background and my father is a farmer. If this facility is stopped then parents like mine will not be able to take the burden of the huge amounts that education demands. This will result in massive dropouts of several intelligent students. This would further increase the illiteracy rate and many might take part in illegal activities for survival.

Secondly, this action will demotivate the youth and force them to opt for mal practices in the society. The withdrawal of this scheme means many talented youths losing the chance to grow in life and to contribute to the society. It will also lead to the breakdown of the economy at some point of time.

Lastly, the law reformation and reaffirmation should only result in balancing the economy and not to deteriorate.

After critically analysing the situation, I eagerly look upon your decision to rescind the new law enforcement regarding stopping of payment to the students of the senior school certificate examination. I and many other students like me will be grateful if you can make this happen.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,

Zarah

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
