Linda 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 $128 and allows unlimited mileage. Company B has an initial fee of $65 and charges an additional $0.90 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. Urgent!!!

Answer:

Company A charges $117 and allows unlimited mileage.

Company B has an initial fee of $75 and charges an additional $0.70 for every mile

let number of miles = m

75+0.7m = 1170.7m = 117-75

0.7m = 42

/0.7

m= 42/0.7

m = 60 miles they will be costing same
