(b) $65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Plan 1:
per mile
Plan 2:
per mile
Solving (a): Number of miles when both plans are equal
Represent the distance with x and the cost with y
So:
Plan 1:
Plan 2:
To solve (a), we equate both plans together; i.e.
Collect Like Terms
Solve for x
Hence, 100 mile would cost both plans the same
Solving (b): Cost when both plans are the same:
In this case, we simply substitute 100 for x in any of the y equation.
<em>Hence, the amount is $65</em>
