0.5% of what number is 5

lol pls explain how to get this i have a test tomorrow

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 percent (calculated percentage %) of what number equals 5? 1,000.

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
