Answer 1

400 miles

Explanation:

After 400 miles, both will be costing the same, you first create an equation with the values you have, for example, 240 + .25x and you either graph them and find the intersection or guess and check.

Explanation:

Set up the equations and make them equal to each other and then solve.

240+0.25m=180+0.40m
