15.6
Do the equation 16.25= 2.50 + 1.75x. Solve
I’m not shure
1. 2.50 + (7 x 1.75) = 14.75
2. so $ 1.50 will be left over
To complete the statement about Giselle's taxi ride, we need to calculate the total cost of the taxi ride based on the given information.
First, we know that the taxi costs $2.50 for the first mile. So the cost for the first mile is $2.50.
Next, we need to calculate the cost for each additional mile. Since Giselle's uncle's house is 8 miles away and the first mile costs $2.50, there are 7 additional miles to consider. For each of these additional miles, the cost is $1.75. Therefore, the cost for these additional 7 miles is $1.75 x 7 = $12.25.
To find the total cost of the taxi ride, we add the cost for the first mile and the cost for the additional miles.
Total cost = Cost for the first mile + Cost for additional miles
Total cost = $2.50 + $12.25
Total cost = $14.75
Now, comparing the cost of the taxi ride ($14.75) with the amount of money Giselle has in her wallet ($16.25), we can complete the statement about Giselle's taxi ride.
The statement is: Giselle has enough money to pay for her taxi ride to her uncle's house.
Explanation: We calculated the total cost of the taxi ride using the given pricing information, and then compared it with the amount of money Giselle has in her wallet. This allowed us to determine whether she has enough money to pay for the taxi ride or not.
