The director of "the graduate" stated that he wanted an underdog quality to the role of benjamin braddock, which is why he did not cast robert redford. what is the name of the director?

Mike Nichols.

Explanation:

While casting the characters for the film "The Graduate", the director Mike Nichols cast Dustin Hoffman for the role of Benjamin Braddock though Robert Redford and Warren Beatty were priorities for the Braddock's role.

When Hoffman gave audition for Braddock's role, Nichols selected him for the role instead of Redford and Beatty because according to Nichols, the director of the film, Redford did not have the quality of an underdog that was required for the role of Braddock.

So, the director who rejected Robert Redford for Braddock's character was Mike Nichols.

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
