You must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Two payment options to rent a car
Let "x" be the number of miles driven in one day
<em><u>You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A)</u></em>
25 cents is equal to 0.25 dollars
OPTION A : 20 + 0.25x
<em><u>You pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B)</u></em>
50 cents equal to 0.50 dollars
Option B: 10 + 0.50x
<em><u>For what amount of daily miles will option A be the cheaper plan ?</u></em>
For option A to be cheaper, Option A must be less than option B
Option A < Option B
Solve the inequality
Add -0.50x on both sides
Add - 20 on both sides,
Divide both sides by 0.25
Thus you must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
Answer:
x = 3.76 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the missing side, "x", solve using proportions.
In similar polygons, the 'new' polygon was created by multiplying every side of the 'old' polygon by the same number. Every side was multiply by the <u>scale factor</u>, "k", which tells you how much a polygon grew (k>1) or shrunk (0<k<1).
Therefore, if you divided the pairs of corresponding sides, they would be equal.
From the diagram, you can tell that the following sides correspond:
CB ~ GF
AB ~ EF
<u>Use the proportion</u>
Substitute values from diagram
Multiply both sides by 6 ft
"x" is isolated. Multiply fraction by combining into numerator
Solved numerator. Divide for decimal answer.
The value of 'x' is 3.76 ft.
