Let x be the number of miles you drive, then the costs of the dune buggy rentals are
:
go Beach go = 0.16x +$29.95
sunny buggies = $72/day
plava buggies = 0.45x
:
suppose your vacation is for three days and you drive 30 miles, then
:
go Beach go = 0.16(30) +$29.95 = $34.75
sunny buggies = $72 * 3 = $216
plava buggies = 0.45 * 30 = $13.50
:
now, suppose you drove 200 miles over the three days
go Beach go = 0.16(200) + $29,95 = $61.95
sunny buggies = $72 * 3 = $216
plava buggies = 0.45 * 200 = $90
:
so the more miles you drive, go Beach go is cheaper BUT if you drive fewer miles then plava buggies is cheaper
