Question

When it comes to reimbursement packages, company a offers $175 plus $0.55 per mile. company b offers $200 plus $0.45 per mile. what number of miles driven would make the two reimbursement packages equal?

Answer 1

Answer:250

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have the following equations:
y = 0.55x + 175
y = 0.45x + 200
We equate both equations:
0.55x + 175 = 0.45x + 200
We clear the value of x:
0.55x - 0.45x = 200 - 175
0.10x = 25
x = 250 miles
Answer:
A number of thousands driven that would make the two reimbursement packages equal is:
x = 250 miles
