Question

Two rentalCar companies charge different prices when you rent a car. Company a charges $.28 per mile and a $50 fee. Company B charges $.78 per mile but no fee. For what number of miles will the two companies charge the same price?

Answer 1

Answer:

100 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Create equations.

Company A: y = 0.28x + 50

Company B: y = 0.78x

These are equal to each other.

0.78x = 0.28x + 50

0.5x = 50

x = 100
