Question

Jenny wants to rent a truck for one day. She contacted two companies. Laguana’s Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile. Salvatori’s truck rentals charges $3 per mile. After how many miles will the total cost for both companies be the same?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost will be the same for both companies after 20 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!
