Example

  • Which of the following problem situations is represented by this inequality, 0.35m + 3 < 0.45m + 1.50?

    a) An Uber driver charges $0.45 per mile and an initial fee of $3. A Lift driver charges $0.35 per mile and an initial fee of $3. When will the cost of using Lift greater than taking Uber?

    b) An Uber driver charges $0.35 per mile and an initial fee of $3. A Lift driver charges $0.45 per mile and an initial fee of $1.50. When will the cost of using Lift less than taking Uber?
