The unlimited mileage plan would save money for Lia from 410 miles onwards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Lia can rent a van for either $ 90 per day with unlimited mileage or $ 50 per day with 250 free miles and an extra 25 ¢ for each mile over 250, to determine for what number of miles traveled in one day would the unlimited mileage plan save Lia money, the following calculation must be performed:
90.25 - 50 = 40.25
40.25 / 0.25 = 161
161 + 250 = 411
Therefore, the unlimited mileage plan would save money for Lia from 410 miles onwards.
To find the cost before tax, we must find out how much the tax is. So we multiply 252 x .05 to get 12.6. So we know the tax was 12.6 dollars. Now all we have to do is subtract that from the total to get our answer. 252 - 12.6 = 239.4.
