Final answer:
Company A will charge less than Company B when the number of miles driven, represented as m, is less than 65. Inequality refers to the phenomenon of unequal and/or unjust distribution of resources and opportunities among members of a given society.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine for what mileage Company A will charge less than Company B, we write an inequality where m represents the number of miles driven. We'll compare the cost formulas from both companies.
For Company A: $30 + $0.90m
For Company B: $62.50 + $0.40m
We want to find when Company A is cheaper than Company B, so we write the inequality:
$30 + $0.90m < $62.50 + $0.40m
We simplify the inequality by subtracting $0.40m from both sides:
$30 + $0.50m < $62.50
Next, we subtract $30 from both sides:
$0.50m < $32.50
Finally, we divide both sides by $0.50 to solve for m:
m < 65
Therefore, Company A will charge less than Company B for any mileage less than 65 miles.
Inequality refers to the phenomenon of unequal and/or unjust distribution of resources and opportunities among members of a given society. The term inequality may mean different things to different people and in different contexts. Moreover, inequality encompasses distinct yet overlapping economic, social, and spatial dimensions.
Debates about inequality are further complicated by the disjuncture between the moral ethics of equity and social justice, on the one hand, and the normative idea of “deservingness,” on the other hand. In recent years, there has been increasing awareness of inequalities that are observable within social groups, in addition to those across social groups.
