Question

Hong will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of 55.96 and costs an additional 0.12 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of 43.96 and costs additional 0.14 pre mile driven. How many miles would Hong need to. drive for the two plans to cost the same? ​

Answer 1

600 miles the costs will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first plan has an initial fee of $43.96 and costs an additional $0.14 per

mile driven.

C= 43.96 + 0.14x

The second plan has an initial fee of $55.96 and costs an additional $0.12 per mile driven.

C= 55.96+0.12x

equate them to get the same cost

43.96 +0.14x= 55.96+0.12x

0.02x= 55.96- 43.96

0.02x = 12

1 / 0.02 = 50

12 x 50 = 600

x = 600 miles.

Driving for 600 miles, the cost will be same
