Question

Juan will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of

$55
and costs an additional
$0.30
per mile driven. The second plan has no initial fee but costs
$0.80
per mile driven.
For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same?
What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?

Answer 1

solve for m, the number of miles

.09m + 57.98 = .14m + 49.98
9m + 5798 = 14m + 4998
