The Berrys need to rent a van for their family vacation. They can rent a van from Jason's Auto Rentals for $200 per week with no charge for mileage or from Fred's Fine Autos for $110 per week plus $0.25 per mile. Determine the distances the Berrys can drive in the van if the cost of renting from Fred's is to be less than the cost of renting from Jason's
