A car rental company charges $28 per day for a rented car and $0.50 for every mile driven. A second car rental
company charges $20 per day and $0.75 for every mile driven. What is the number of miles at which both
companies charge the same amount for a one-day rental?

Respuesta :

Answer:

56 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, lets say the miles at x they charge the same rental

       34 + 0.50x = 20 + 0.75x (Solve equation)

       0.75x - 0.50x = 34 - 20

       0.25x = 14

       x = [tex]\frac{14}{0.25}[/tex]

       x = 56

So at 56 miles, they charge the same rental.
