Answer:
48 miles
Explanation:
To find the mileage when both cost the same, first form two equations for the total cost for each rental place.
Let the mileage be m.
Sunshine Rental
Daily rate= $57.99
Total cost= $(57.99 +0.48m)
City Rentals
Daily rate= $58.95
Total cost= $(58.95 +0.46m)
Let's equate both equations together.
When both costs the same,
57.99 +0.48m= 58.95 +0.46m
0.48m -0.46m= 58.95 -57.99
0.02m= 0.96
Solve for m:
m= 0.96 ÷0.02
m= 48
The cost is the same at 48 miles.
