document.write( "Question 1087992: A rental car company offers two rental plans, Plan A and Plan B, for the same economy size car. For both plans, the total rental cost, ƒ(m) is a function of the number of miles, m, that the car is driven. In addition to a flat fee of $75, Plan A offers a rate of $0.20 per mile for an unlimited number of miles. Plan B offers a higher mileage rate of $0.35 per mile but does not charge a flat fee for the rental.

Algebra.Com's Answer #702253 by htmentor(1343)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First of all, it seems you are mixing dollars and cents. The fixed cost should be 75, not 0.75. \n" ); document.write( "Your equations should read: \n" ); document.write( "Plan A: f(m) = 0.20m + 75 \n" ); document.write( "Plan B: f(m) = 0.35m \n" ); document.write( "If you wanted to use these to find, for example, at what mileage do the two plans cost the same, you would set the cost equal and solve for m \n" ); document.write( " |
