Question

Company a charges 60$ plus 0.15 per mile company b charges 25$ per day or portion of a day .Jason has determined that it will cost him less to rent a car from company a for a weekend trip .is Jason's conclusion accurate?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

A: C = 60 + 0.15m (C is total cost and m is no. of miles)

B: C = 25d (d is no. of days)

For a weekend trip, there are 2 days.

This means that the cost for B is 2*$25, which is $50.

It doesn't matter how many miles are driven for A because the cost will always be at least $60.

This means that B is cheaper and that Jason is inaccurate.
