Company A charges is represented by equation, [tex]A=55+0.5x[/tex]
Company B charges is represented by equation , [tex]B=0.6x[/tex]
Let number of miles is represented by x .
[tex]1 cent= \frac{1}{100}dollar\\\\50cents=\frac{50}{100}=0.5dollar\\\\60 cents=\frac{60}{100}=0.6dollar[/tex]
Since, Company A charges an initial fee of $55 and an additional 50 cents for every mile driven.
