An uber fare in columbus is $3.50 for the first ½ mile and additional mileage charged at a rate of $0.30 for each additional 0.1 mile. you plan to give the driver a $2 tip. how many miles can you ride for $15? show or explain your calculations.

If we consider the first half mile to be charged at $0.30 per tenth also, that half-mile costs $1.50 and the charges amount to a fixed fee of $2.00 and a variable fee of $0.30 per tenth mile.

After you subtract the $2 tip and the fixed $2 fee from the trip budget amount, you have $11.00 you can spend on mileage charges. At 0.30 per tenth mile, you can travel

... $11.00/$0.30 = 36 2/3 . . . . tenth-miles

The trip is measured in whole tenths, so you can ride ...

... 36 × 1/10 = 3.6 miles

If you want to see this in the form of an equation, you can let x represent the miles you can travel. Then your budget amount gives rise to the inequality ...

... 3.50 + 0.30((x -.50)/0.10) + 2.00 ≤ 15.00

... 3.50 + 3x -1.50 +2.00 ≤15.00 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

r(0,90)(x,y) . t(-5,0)

last option

step-by-step explanation:

∆def to ∆d"e"f"

- rotate 90 counterclockwise degrees

- then translated 5 to the left (x --> x - 5)

answer is the last option
