A taxi company charges $1.15 for the first quarter of a mile and fifteen cents for each additional quarter of a mile. What is the maximum distance someone could travel with $4.90?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 4 miles  B) 4 1/4 miles  C) 4 3/4 miles  D) 5 1/2 miles  E) 6 1/2 miles
If we start out with $4.90 and have to spend $1.15 for the first quarter-mile, we will have $3.75 left to spend on quarter-mile intervals.   Since $3.75/$0.15 = 25, we can buy 25 more quarter-miles, and will travel 26 quarter miles in all:   26 × 1/4  3.75/ 0.15=

25, we can buy 25 more quarter-miles, and will travel 26 quarter miles in all:   26 × 1/4= 6 1/2 miles.   The correct answer is choice (6 1/2 miles).
