Suppose you are thinking about buying one of two cars.
Car A will cost $17,655. You can expect to pay an average of $1230 per year for fuel, maintenance, and repairs.
Car B will cost about $15,900. Fuel, maintenance, and repairs for it will average about $1425 per year.
After how many years are the total costs for the cars the same?
