You can put this solution on YOUR website! Frank will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans.
Let m = no. of miles driven
:
The first plan has an initial fee of $59.96 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven.
C = .14m + 59.96
:
The second plan has an initial fee of $49.96 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven.
C = .16m + 49.96
:
How many miles would Frank need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?
Plan 2 = Plan 1
.16m + 49.96 = .14m + 59.96
.16m - .14m = 59.96 - 49.96
you should be able finish this when you get m, check the cost in each plan
