Answer:

3.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial fee plus state tax first because they are static:

3.25 + 0.5 = 3.75

Remove the initial charge plus tip from total cost:

14.75 - 3 - 3.75 = 8

Divide by 0.5 to get how many 1/5 of a mile he went:

8 / 0.5 = 16

Divide 16 by 5 to get miles:

16 / 5 = 3.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I wrote the equations:

Laguna's Truck Rentals: 2x + 20

Salvatori's truck rentals: 3x

To find when the total cost for both companies will be the same, I kept substituting numbers for the variable until it worked. So, the total cost for both companies will be the same after 20 miles. Hope this helped!
