A taxi company costs $2.75 for the first quarter-mile and 12.5 cents for each additional quarter mile. What is the maximum distance you can travel with $6.50?
Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 4 miles
B) 5 3/4 miles
C) 6 1/2 miles
D) 7 3/4 miles
E) 8 1/4 miles
Use reverse calculation-   Total Cost = Fixed Cost ( For 1/4 miles ) + Variable cost ( 7 3/4 milesistance Travelled )   Or, 6.50 = 2.75 + 0.125 * d   Or, 3.75 = d/8   Or, d = 30 quarter miles   So, Total 7 3/4 milesistance = ( 30 + 1 ) Quarter miles   So, 7 3/4 milesistance = 31/4 =&gt; 73/4 miles   Hence answer will be (7 3/4 miles)
