Question

Primo car rental agency charges $21 per day plus $0.20 por milo. Ultimo car rental agency charges $24 per day plus $1.00 per milo. Find the daily mileage for which the Ultimo charge is four times the Primo charge.

The mileage is

Answer 1

300 miles

Explanation:

Let us consider the miles they travelled is 'm'

Mileage for Primo= 21 + (m × 0.20) = 21+0.2m

Mileage for Ultimo= 24+ ( m× 1.00) = 24 + m

Question says The mileage is equal when Ultimo's charge is 4× Primo

Thus,

4 × (21+0.2m) = 24+ m

84 + 0.8m = 24 + m

60 = 0.2m

m = 300
