Question

A family wants to rent a car to go on vacation. Company A charges $30.50 and 9 cents per mile. Company B charges $70.50 and 14 cents per mile. How much more does Company B charge for x miles than company A?
For x miles, Company B charges __ dollars more than company A.

Answer 1

Answer:

$(39.24x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out their difference for one mile before calculating their difference for x miles.

Difference per mile = ($70.50 + $0.14) - ($30.50 + $0.90)

                                = $70.64 - $31.40

                                = $39.24

Difference for x miles = $39.24 × x miles

                                    = $(39.24x)
