Rueben is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies he can choose from, and they have the following prices.
Company A charges an initial fee of $50 and an additional 70 cents for every additional mile driven.
Company B charges an initial fee of $59 and an additional 60 cents for every additional mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B?
Write your answer as an inequality, using m for the number of miles driven.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
50 + 0.7*m < 59 + 0.6m,
0.7m - 0.6m < 59 - 50,
0.1m < 9,
m < = 90.
If mileage is less than 90, then the plan A is cheaper than plan B.
