Answer:

It takes 60 miles driven with company B for charge as much as company A

Explanation:

Company A = $ 117 with unlimited mileage.

Company B = $ 75 + (m × $0,70)

Let's find the number of miles driven in company B for charge as much as company A:

$ 75 + (m × $ 0,70) = $ 117

m × $ 0,70 = $ 117 - $ 75

m = $ 42/ $0,70

m = 60 miles
