Answer:
750 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Ronald
Rental fee = fixed cost + variable cost
= $25 + $0.05x
Where x = number of miles
Dixon
Rental fee = fixed cost + variable cost
= $40 + $0.03x
How many miles must they both drive for their rental fees to be the same?
Equate the two equations
$25 + $0.05x = $40 + $0.03x
Collect like terms
0.05x - 0.03x = 40 - 25
0.02x = 15
Divide both sides by 0.02
x = 15 / 0.02
= 750 miles
