A taxi charges a flat rate of 1.75, plus an additional 0.65 per mile. If Erica has at most 10 to spend on the cab ride, how far could she travel?Setup an equation where x is the number of miles traveled:
0.65x + 1.75 = 10
Subtract 1.75 from each side:
0.65x = 8.25
Divide each side by 0.65
x = 12.69 miles
If we do full miles, we round down to 12.
