Answer 1

The number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same is 140 miles

Rental cost

Let

• Number of miles = x

Company A:

90 + 0.20x

Company B:

20 + 0.70x

• Equate both rental cost

90 + 0.20x = 20 + 0.70x

90 - 20 = 0.70x - 0.20x

70 = 0.50x

• Divide both sides by 0.50

x = 70/0.50

x = 140 miles

Therefore, the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same is 140 miles
