a truck can be rented from Basic Rental for $50 per day plus $0.20 per mile. Continental chargers $20 per day plus $0.50 per mile to rent the same truck. How many miles must be driven in a day to make the rental cost for Basic Rental better deal than Continenal's?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Basic Rental DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Cost = 5000 + 20x, where x = # of miles driven
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Continental DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Cost = 2000 + 50x
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "INEQUALITY:
\n" ); document.write( "Basic < Continental
\n" ); document.write( "50000 + 20x < 2000 + 50x
\n" ); document.write( "48000 < 30x
\n" ); document.write( "x < 1600 miles
\n" ); document.write( "If # of miles driven in a day is < 1600 Basic will be a better deal than Continental.
