From the graph of miles driven and pricing, it can be observed that for 200 miles option A price is $100 and option B price is $70.

So option A cost more than option B.

Determine the difference between $100 and $70 to obtain how much option A cost more than option B.


100-70=30

So option A cost $30 more than option B.

From the graph, it can be observed that lines of option A and option B intersect each other at (50,40). So option A and option B cost same for 50 miles.
