Question

Goran is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies he can choose from, and they have the following prices. Company A charges $93 and allows unlimited mileage. Company B has an initial fee of $65 and charges an additional "$0.80" for every mile driven. For what mileage will Company A charge less than Company B? Use m for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for m.

Answer 1

m>35

Explanation:

We have to find the least m for 65 + 0.8m > 93.

subtract 93 from each side of the inequality: 0.8m > 28

divide both sides of the inequality by 4: 0.2m > 7

multiply both sides of the inequality by 5 to find m: m>35.
