The question from the image reads:

"The cost of a taxi ride is $1.1 for the first mile and $1 for each additional mile or part thereof. Find the maximum distance we can ride if we have $59.1. Enter your answer as an integer or a decimal. If needed, round to the nearest tenths of miles."

### Solution:

1. **First mile cost**: $1.10
2. **Remaining money after the first mile**: 
   \[
   59.1 - 1.1 = 58.0
   \]
3. **Cost for each additional mile**: $1 per mile.
4. **Maximum number of additional miles**:
   \[
   \frac{58.0}{1} = 58.0 \text{ miles}
   \]
5. **Total distance**:
   \[
   1 \text{ mile} + 58.0 \text{ miles} = 59.0 \text{ miles}
   \]

Thus, the maximum distance you can ride is **59.0 miles**.

1. If the total money available was $100, what would the maximum distance be?
2. How would the answer change if the first mile cost $1.50 instead of $1.10?
3. What if the additional miles were charged at $1.50 each instead of $1.00?
4. How would the total distance change if you had a discount on the first mile, reducing it to $0.90?
5. What would be the cost for a ride covering 75 miles under the current pricing?

### Tip:
Always start by subtracting the base cost (like the first mile) from the total available money before calculating the remaining distances.

The cost of a taxi ride is $1.1 for the first mile and $1 for each additional mile or part thereof. Find the maximum distance we can ride if we have $59.1. Enter your answer as an integer or a decimal. If needed, round to the nearest tenths of miles.
