Question

Jose is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies he can choose from, and they have the following prices. Company A charges $108 and allows unlimited mileage. Company B has an initial fee of $75 and charges an additional $0.60 for every mile driven. For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B? Use m for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for m .

Answer 1

108 < 75 + 0.60m
108 - 75 < 0.60m
33 < 0.60m
33 / 0.60 < m
55 < m...or m > 55...company A will charge less if it is driven 56 or more miles
