are the total costs at the
OI two truck rental
two companies equal?
Company A:
Company B:
$20 per day plus $.70 per mile
$45 per day plus S .25 per mile

Answer 1

Set up the equation and solve for miles:

20 + 0.70m = 45 + 0.25m

Subtract 20 from both sides

0.70m = 25 + 0.25m

Subtract 0.25m from both sides

0.45m = 25

Divide both sides by 0.45

M = 55.56 miles

answer: 55.56 miles ( rounded to nearest hundredth’s)
