A rental car agency charges $17 per day plus $0.07 per mile to rent a certain car. Another agency charges $22 per day plus $0.05 per mile. How many miles per day will have to be driven for the cost of a car from the first agency to equal the cost of a car from the second agency?

Let M be the miles that will equate the cost.....and we have......

 

17 + .07M =  22 + .05M     subtract .05M and 17 from both sides

 

.02M  = 5     divide both sides by  .02

 

5 / .02   = M = 250 miles

 

 

cool cool cool
