Hello Guest!

 

A truck can be rented from Company A for

per mile to rent the same truck. Find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same.

 

\(\$ 120 + x\times \$0.40/mile=\$50+x\times\$0.90/mile\)

 

 

\(x\times(\$0.40-\$0.90)/mile=\$50-\$120\)

 

\(x=\frac{\$70}{\$0.50/mile}\)

 

\({\color{blue}x= 140\ miles}\)

 

\({\color{blue}The \ rental \ costs \ for \ 140 \ driven \ miles}\)

 

\({\color{blue} \ are \ the \ same \ for \ both \ offers.}\)
