Question

Lia can rent a van for either $90 per day with unlimited mileage or $50 per day with 250 free miles and 25 cents for each mile over 250. for what number of miles traveled in one day would the unlimited mileage plan save Lia money?

Answer 1

The unlimited mileage plan would save money for Lia from 410 miles onwards.

Explanation:

Since Lia can rent a van for either $ 90 per day with unlimited mileage or $ 50 per day with 250 free miles and an extra 25 ¢ for each mile over 250, to determine for what number of miles traveled in one day would the unlimited mileage plan save Lia money, the following calculation must be performed:

90.25 - 50 = 40.25

40.25 / 0.25 = 161

161 + 250 = 411

Therefore, the unlimited mileage plan would save money for Lia from 410 miles onwards.
