Hello Guest!
A truck can be rented from Company A for
$120 a day plus $0.40 per mile. Company B charges $50 a day plus $0.90
per mile to rent the same truck. Find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same.
\(\$ 120 + x\times \$0.40/mile=\$50+x\times\$0.90/mile\)
\(x\times(\$0.40-\$0.90)/mile=\$50-\$120\)
\(x=\frac{\$70}{\$0.50/mile}\)
\({\color{blue}x= 140\ miles}\)
\({\color{blue}The \ rental \ costs \ for \ 140 \ driven \ miles}\)
\({\color{blue} \ are \ the \ same \ for \ both \ offers.}\)
