After looking to find a rental car, I found that Enterprise charges $108 a day plus $.25 per mile per day. Budget car rental charges $137.73 per day and unlimited mileage. Set up an equation and tell me at how many miles will I choose rent from Enterprise and at how many will I want to rent from Budget.
-------------------
E = 10800 + 25m
B = 13773 + 0m
To find the # of miles to have the charges be the same:
13773 = 10800 + 25m
25m = 2973
m = 118.92 miles
If you drive more than 119 miles, Budget will cost less.
