Question

you need to rent a truck for one day to move to a new house. U-HAUL charges $45 a day plus $0.99 per mile. To rent the same sized truck from Penske will cost $350 a day with no mileage charge. At how many miles will both companies have the same total cost ?

Answer 1

Approximately 308 miles.

Explanation:

If x is the miles driven,

45 + 0.99(x) = 350.

0.99(x) = 305

x = 305/(0.99)

x = 308.080808080808081

This is approximately 308 miles.
