Answer:
E.The price for travelling 150 miles is same for both company.
Explanation:
We are given that Joseph is going on a trip and he needs to rent a car.
Company A
Charge $0.25 per mile plus $50 rental fee.
Company B charges 40.45 per mile plus $20 rental fee.
A.Total distance=150 miles
Company A
Charges for 150 miles=$37.5
Total charges=37.5+50=$87.5
Company B
Charges for 150 miles==$67.5
Total charge=20+67.5=$87.5
The price for travelling 150 miles is same for both company.
But if distance greater than 150 miles such 155 miles
Company A
Total charge=$88.75
Company B
Total charges=$89.75
Company A is better deal if Joseph more than 150 miles.
If distance 145 miles
Price form company A=$86.25
Price form company B=$85.25
Company B is better deal if Joseph travel less than 150 miles.
Hence, option E is true.
