Question

Lashonda will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $48 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $57 and costs an additional $0.12 per mile driven. For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same ? and what is the cost when the two plans cost the same ?

Answer 1

$68.25

Explanation:

Plan I: Y=38+0.11X

Plan II: Y=49+0.07X

When both plans cost the same, 38+0.11X=49+0.07X. We will get X = 275miles, and Y=$68.25
