Answer: 200 miles

Explanation:

Given

Company A charges
$\$35$ per day and
$\$0.10$ per mile extra

While company B charges
$\$25$ per day and
$\$0.15$ per mile extra

Suppose a car run x miles in a day in both the cases

So, Cost for Car A=35+0.1x

Cost for car B=25+0.15x

when the price is equal

35+0.1x=25+0.15x

10=0.05x

x=200 miles
