Question

Nicole is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.Company A charges $117 and allows unlimited mileage.Company B has an initial fee of $75 and charges an additional $0.70 for every mile driven.For what mileages will Company A charge at least as much as Company B? Use m for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for m.

Answer 1

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
