Question 1086284: Daniela is buying a new mattress. Sleep Tight charges $800 for the mattress she likes, and they charge a delivery fee of $2 per mile. Best Bedding has the same mattress for less at $650, but charge a high delivery fee of $5 per mile. For what delivery distance is the cost of the mattress the same for both furniture stores?

Let n be the amount of mileage. Then:
800+2n=650+5n
150=3n
n=50 miles before the mattress cost is the same. ☺☺☺☺
