How many miles would Glenna drive before she would be spending the same amount at either company?

Answer 1

Answer:

B rentals is better deal for journey  432 miles

If she spending same money either company  the distance travels in a week is$x=600$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mr K rentals cars $=\ 99$ per week  and $\ .11$ for over 100 miles

B rentals car$=\ 75$ per week and $\ .15$ for over 150 miles

Let total journey cost of Glenna  if she travels 432 miles

For Mr, K rentals  is Y

Y=99+.11\times \left ( 432-100\right )

$Y=99+.11\times \left ( 432-100\right )$

$Y=99+36.52$

$Y=\ 135.52$

For  B rental  journey cost is Z

$Z=75+.15\left ( 432-150 \right )$

$Z=75+42.3$

$Z=\ 117.3$

If she spending same money either company

x mile she drive in a week

$Y=Z$

$99+.11\left ( 432-100 \right )x=75+.15\left ( 432-150 \right )x$

$99-75=.15x-.11x$

$24=.04x$

$x=24/.04$

$x=600$
