"Glenna wants to rent a car for a trip to Key West for one week. She calls two car rental companies to get prices. Mr. Kotter’s

Rentals rents a Cadillac Escalade for $99 for one week plus $0.11 per mile over 100 miles. Barbarino’s Rentals has the same vehicle for $75 per week and $0.15 per mile over 150 miles. If it is 432 miles to Key West, which company has the better deal? How many miles would Glenna drive before she would be spending the same amount at either company?"

Mr. Kotter's rentals :
99 + 0.11(x - 100)
for 432 miles...
99 + 0.11(432 - 100) =
99 + 0.11(332) =
99 + 36.52 =
135.52 <==

Barbarino's rentals : 
75 + 0.15(x - 150)
for 432 miles...
75 + 0.15(432 - 150) =
75 + 0.15(282) =
75 + 42.30 =
117.30 <==

so the better deal is at Barbarino's rentals <===

when will they cost the same amount....
99 + 0.11(x - 100) = 75 + 0.15(x - 150)
99 + 0.11x - 11 = 75 + 0.15x - 22.50
88 + 0.11x = 52.50 + 0.15x
88 - 52.50 = 0.15x - 0.11x
35.50 = 0.04x
35.50/0.04 = x
887.5 = x <=== they will cost the same at 887.5 miles

Answer:

Step-by-steplanation:

Add: 1

2

+ 2

5

= 1 · 5

2 · 5

+ 2 · 2

5 · 2

= 5

10

+ 4

10

= 5 + 4

10

= 9

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(2, 5) = 10. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 5 = 10. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - one half plus two fifths = nine tenths.

Conversion a mixed number 6 2

7

to a improper fraction: 6 2/7 = 6 2

7

= 6 · 7 + 2

7

= 42 + 2

7

= 44

7

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 6 by the denominator 7. Whole number 6 equally 6 * 7

7

= 42

7

b) Add the answer from previous step 42 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 42 + 2 = 44

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 44) over the denominator 7.

Six and two sevenths is forty-four sevenths

Add: the result of step No. 1 + 44

7

= 9

10

+ 44

7

= 9 · 7

10 · 7

+ 44 · 10

7 · 10

= 63

70

+ 440

70

= 63 + 440

70

= 503

70

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(10, 7) = 70. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 10 × 7 = 70. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - nine tenths plus forty-four sevenths = five hundred three seventieths.
