Question 177402: Bob will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two payment plans. The first plan costs 57.98 for two days plus 13 cents per mile. The second plan costs 45.98 for two days plus 18 cents per mile. How many miles does Bob need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?

so we need to write the equations out and then set them equal to each other
:
plan 1 C=.13(m)+57.98
plan 2 C=.18(m)+45.98
:
C is the total cost and m represents miles driven
:
now setting these equal to each other
:
.13m+57.98=.18m+45.98
:
.05m=12
:
miles for the 2 plans to be equal Cost
