Question

You name to rent a moving truck for A-day you have identified 2 companies that rent trucks company aid charges $45 per day plus 10 cents per mile company B charges $40 per day plus 15 cents per mile for how many miles will the cost of renting be the same?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of renting will be the same for 100 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n the number of miles and C be the cost. We can represent the cost equations for each companies:

A: C = 45 + 0.1n

B: C = 40 + 0.15n

They want to know when the cost will be the same, so we can set the above 2 equations equal to each other and solve for n:

45 + 0.1n = 40 + 0.15n

0.05n = 5

n = 100
