Question

55.00 for unlimited miles. the cost of renting a similar vehicle a we got wheels is 38.00 fee plus 0.20 per mile. for what number of miles is the cost at rent a ride less than the cost at we got wheels

Answer 1

>85 miles

Explanation:

Rent-a-Ride charges $55 for unlimited miles.

We Got Wheels charges a $38 initial fee, then $0.20 for every mile.

We can subtract the fees, 55-38 = $17. This is the difference between their initial fees. All we have to figure out is, how long does it take before We Got Wheels costs MORE than $17.

This can be represented as 0.2x > 17

To solve this, divide both sides by 0.2 and you will get

x > 85.
