The parking lot for a hotel should have 114 parking spaces. if ech row can have 13 parking spaces, then the minimum nukber of rows should be?

So @mathmate deleted my comment because "I wasn't explaining my answer" well I did

I clearly stated that you have to make educated guess and I showed how I GOT my answer

so i guess here is my "proper" answer

There is no specific formula for this, so you can make an educated guess

for example:

13*5 = 65 (this isn't right because we need a minimum of 114)

so we continue the guessing

I then next tried

13*9

I got 117,

117 is more than 113

making 9 the minimum amount of rows for the hotel parking lot

there ya go @mathmate is that clear enough?

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
