Company A-> charges $75 and unlimited millage.

Company B-> initial fee $55 and charges +$0.8 for every mile driven.

The inequality that represents for what millage will company A charges less than company B is:

Let m be the number of miles

[tex]\begin{gathered} 75<55+0.8m \\ 75-55<0.8m \\ 20<0.8m \\ \frac{20}{0.8}For 25 miles company A will charge less than company B.
