A family wants to rent a car to go on vacation. Company A charges ​$75.50 and 14 cents per mile. Company B charges ​$45.50 and 8 cents per miles. How much more does Company B charge for x miles than Company A? ​

Answer 1

Company A

Explanation:

Company A charges $75.50 + $0.14x per mile.

Company B charges $45.50 + $0.08x per mile.

The difference in charges is:

($75.50 + $0.14x) - ($45.50 + $0.08x) = $30 + $0.06x.

Therefore, for x miles, Company B charges $30 + $0.06x more than Company A.
