Question

1. A taxi service charges a $ 1.95 flat rate plus $ 0.55 per mile. Jason only has $ 12 to spend on a ride. Which graph best represents the number of miles Jason can afford to travel?

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Subtract $1.95 from $12 to account for the flat rate that Jason must pay, then divide that by 0.55, or the per mile charge. The answer, or the highest amount of miles he can go with $12, is 18.27272727. The answer that best represents the number of miles he can go is B because he can go up to 18 miles, including 18 miles, hence the closed circle.
