Answer:

The indifference point is 360 miles.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Rental 1:

Total cost= 185 + 0.25*x

x= miles driven

Rental 2:

Total cost= $275

Now, we need to equal both formulas and isolate x:

185 + 0.25x = 275

0.25x = 90

x= 90/0.25

x= 360

The indifference point is 360 miles.
