Question

Zoe needs to rent a car. Kara's Kar Kompany charges $22 per day and a $100 cleaning fee. Callie's Car Company charges $26 per day and has a $40 cleaning fee. After how many days would the rental cost be the same for both car rental companies?
A) 18 Days
B) 13 Days
C) 15 Days
D) 8 Days

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 15 days

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we must make an equation, so lets use the variable 'd' equal the number of days a car is being used for:

22d + 100 = 26d + 40

Now, we combine like terms:

22d + 100 = 26d + 40

-22d           -22d

100 = 4d + 40

-40            -40

60 = 4d

/4     /4

d = 15

So, the rental cost will be the same for both car companies after 15 days

Hope this helps :)
