To determine how many miles Eddie can travel if he has $15 to spend, we need to write an inequality that represents the total cost of the taxi ride.<br /><br />The total cost of the taxi ride is the sum of the flat fee and the cost per mile. The flat fee is $1.75, and the cost per mile is $0.25. Let's represent the number of miles Eddie can travel as x.<br /><br />The inequality that represents the total cost of the taxi ride is:<br /><br />$1.75 + 0.25x \leq 15$<br /><br />This inequality states that the total cost of the taxi ride (the flat fee plus the cost per mile) should be less than or equal to $15.<br /><br />Now let's solve the inequality:<br /><br />$1.75 + 0.25x \leq 15$<br /><br />Subtract 1.75 from both sides:<br /><br />$0.25x \leq 13.25$<br /><br />Divide both sides by 0.25:<br /><br />$x \leq 53$<br /><br />Therefore, Eddie can travel up to 53 miles if he has $15 to spend.<br /><br />The correct answer is: $\$ 1.75+\$ 0.25x\leqslant \$ 15$
