Question

Hans needs to rent a moving truck. suppose company a charges a rate of $40 per day and company B charges $60 fee plus $30 per day. For what number od days is the cost the same?

Answer 1

The time at which the cost for the services of the two companies would be in exactly 6 days. If we would compare the two charges, we would see that company A just charges 40 per day while B has a charge of 60, which is a standard fee, and a rate of 30 per day. So if we compute 40 x 6, we will have a total cost now of 240. If we compute 30 x 6, we will have a total cost now of 180 plus 60 which is the standard fee, and we will get 240. So in 6 days, the rates of the two companies would both accumulate to 240.
