Answer:

about 101 miles to equal the same amount as place A. (if this is daily")

Explanation:

so how I went about this is first I added 55+0.33 because thats how much you need to drive one mile for one day with place A. and that equaled 50.30 so then I divided 50.30 by 0.55 because thats all it costs per mile for place B so I got 100.545454545 so i just rounded it up to 101

i hope im right plmn;)
