Zoe needs to rent a car. Kara's Kar Kompany charges $22 per day and a $100 cleaning fee. Callie's Car Company charges $26 per day and has a $40 cleaning fee. After how many days would the rental cost be the same for both car rental companies

Answer:

15 days

Explanation:

Step 1 - Put in equation form:

22d + 100 = t

26d + 40 = t

Step 2 - Simplify equations:

22d + 100 = 26d + 40

100 - 40 = 26d - 22d

60 = 4d

d = 60/4

d = 15

Hope this helps!
