$0.79 per mile. At Rent It Trucks, the truck can be rented for $75. plus $0.55 per mile.
a. Write equations for the total cost of renting a truck from each company,
Haul-n-Save: y =
r+
Rent It Trucks: y =
+
b. On a separate sheet of paper, graph the equations on the same coordinate plane. Examine the graph to estimate after how many miles of
driving the total rental cost will be the same from each company.
