The first plan has an initial fee of $59 and costs an additional $0.08 per mile driven, The second plan has an initial fee of $48 and costs an additional $0.10 per mile driven. For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same? Omiles What is the cost when the two plans cost the same? $0​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 550 miles

2. $103

Step-by-step explanation:

y = total rental cost

m = initial fee

x = cost per mile

n = number of miles

Plan 1: y = m + xn = 59 + 0.08n

Plan 2: y = m +xn = 48 + 0.10n

Q1. if total cost is the same : 59 + 0.08n = 48 + 0.10n >>> 0.02n = 11 >>> n = 550

Q2. y = m + xn = 59 + 0.08n = 59 + 0.08(550) = 103
