Moving van rentals : Stringer Truck Rentals will rent a moving van for $15.75/day plus &0.35/mi. Hertz Van Rentals will rent the same van for $25/day plus $0.30/mi. How many miles m must the van be driven to make the cost of Hertz a better deal on a one-day rental?
------
Stringer Cost:: S(m) = 15.75+0.35m
Hertz Cost:: H(m) = 25 + 0.30m
--------------
Solve:: H(m) < S(m)
25+0.30m < 15.75+0.35m
------
9.25 < 0.05m
m > 9.25/0.05
m > 925/5
m > 185 miles (Hertz a better deal if milage greater than 185 miles)
