Question

You need to rent a moving truck for a day. You have identified two companies that rent trucks. Company A charges ​$50 per day plus ​$0.15 per mile. Company B charges ​$45 per day plus ​$0.20 per mile. For how many miles will the cost of renting be the​ same?

Answer 1

X= 50. The cost of renting will be the same for 50 miles

Explanation:

50 + 0.15X = 45 + 0.25X

5 = 0.10X

5/0.1 = X

50 = X

After driving 50 miles, it's cheaper to rent from company A.
