Which inference correctly identifies how August and Mrs.
Garcia are feeling?
Read the excerpt from Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
"Such a pleasure to meet you, August," she said, holding
out her hand for me to shake.
"Hi," I said quietly, giving her my hand, but I didn't want to
look at her face, so I kept staring at her glasses, which
hung from a chain around her neck.
"Wow, what a firm grip!" said Mrs. Garcia. Her hand was
really warm.
Mrs. Garcia holds out her hand for August to shake,
which shows that she is polite; August does not want to
look at her face, which shows that he is insecure.
August gives Mrs. Garcia his hand, which shows that he
is confident; Mrs. Garcia says, "Wow, what a firm grip!"
which shows that she is afraid.
Mrs. Garcia says, "Such a pleasure to meet you," which
shows that she is lonely; August quietly says, "Hi," which
shows that he is shy.
August grips Mrs. Garcia's hand, which shows that he is
angry; Mrs. Garcia's hand is warm, which shows that she
is nervous.

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50

i need the experts to you or i cant really compaire

is there a book if so take some time to read that book and then you   mite find the answer cause i dont know this story
