Question

Jane will rent a car for the weekend she can choose one of the two plans the first plan has an initial fee of $42 in cost of additional $.12 per mile driven the second plan has an initial fee of $55 in cost additional seven cents per mile driven

Answer 1

260m

$73.2

Explanation:

For what amount of driving do the plans cost the same?

What the cost when the two plans cost the same?

first plan = 42 + 0.12m

second plan = 55 + 0.07m

42 + 0.12m = 55 + 0.07m

collect like terms

55 - 42 = 0.12 - 0.07m

13 = 0.05m

m = 260

42 + 0.12(260) = 73.2
