a rental car agency charges $20 per day plus 11 cents per mile to rent a car. another agency charges $27 per day plus 7 cents per mile to rent the same car. how many miles will have to be driven in one day for the cost of a car from the first agency to equal the cost of a car fromt he second agency.
--------------
Let "x" be the number of miles driven.
1st agency Cost=20+0.11x
2nd agency Cost=27+0.07x
EQUATION:
20+0.11x=27+0.07x
0.04x=7
x=175 miles (number of miles dren when the costs will be equal)
Cheers,
Stan H.
