Question

One car rental company charges $30 per day plus $0.25 per mile driven. A second company changes $40 per day plus $0.10 per mile driven. How many miles must you drive for a one day rental at the second company to be less expensive than the same rental at the first company? Write and inequality and solve.

Answer 1

30 + 0.25m > 40 + 0.10m
0.25m - 0.10m > 40 - 30
0.15m > 10
m > 10/0.15
m > 67 miles.....u would have to drive 68 or more miles for the second company to be less expensive
