Rachel is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.

Company A charges $79 and allows unlimited mileage.
Company B has an initial fee of $65 and charges an additional $0.70 for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B?
Use m for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for m.

Answer:

65 + .70(20)= 79 dollars

Explanation:

65+0.70miles = Fee

this means she can drive 19 miles and she will still be below the price company A but as soon as she drives 20 miles company A and B will cost the same
