A truck can be rented from Company A for $110 a day plus $0.60 per mile. Company B charges $50 a day plus $0.70 per mile to rent the same truck. Find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same.
-----------------
A Cost:: 110 + 0.6m
B Cost:: 50 + 0.7m
------
Solve for "m"::
110 + 0.6m = 50 + 0.7m
60 = 0.1m
m = 600 miles
