Hi

Gentle Rental charges $185 per week plus 25 cents per mile driven

Let x represent miles driven such that Gentle costs less that Giant

 $185 + .25x < $275     |$275 =  Rental Giant flat fee charge /wk

        .25x < 90

           x < 90/.25

           x < 360mi, miles driven such that Gentle costs less that Giant Rental
