How many miles you need to drive on a four day rental so that the cost of the two alternatives would be same?

4 days' rental from (Abdul/B) is 26x4 = 104
4 days' rental from (Ahmad/D) is 35x4 = 140
The difference is $36
B = .20
D = .08
A difference of .12
How many times does .12 go into 36?
300
Prove.
B = (26x4) + (300x.2) = 104 + 60 = 164
D = (35x4) + (300x.08) = 140 + 24 = 164
