Question 264018: You contacted two local rental companies and obtained the following information for the one-day cost of renting a truck.
Company 1 charges $40.95 per day plus $0.19 per mile, and company 2 charges $19.95 per day plus $0.49 per mile.
Let n represent the total number of miles driving in 1 day.
Write an equation to determine the total cost of renting a truck for a day from company 1.
Write an equation to determine the total cost of renting a truck for a day from company 2.
Use the results in parts a and b to write an inequality that can be used to determine for what number of miles it is less expensive to rent the truck from company 2.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You contacted two local rental companies and obtained the following information for the one-day cost of renting a truck.
--------------------
Company 1 charges $40.95 per day plus $0.19 per mile,
----------
Company 2 charges $19.95 per day plus $0.49 per mile.
----------------------
Let n represent the total number of miles driving in 1 day.
==================================================================
Write an equation to determine the total cost of renting a truck for a day from company 1.
C1(n) = 40.95 + 0.19n
-----------------------------
Write an equation to determine the total cost of renting a truck for a day from company 2.
C2(n) = 19.95 + 0.49n
----------------------------------
Use the results in parts a and b to write an inequality that can be used to determine for what number of miles it is less expensive to rent the truck from company 2.
19.95+0.49n < 40.95+0.19n
0.30n < 21
n < 70 miles
-------------------
Solve the inequality in part c.
Done
