Question 1084906: Brian is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies he can choose from, and they have the following prices.
Company A charges an initial fee of $102.50 and an additional 10 cents for every mile driven.
Company B charges an initial fee of $55 and an additional 60 cents for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge no more than Company B?
Write your answer as an inequality, using m for the number of miles driven.
MY WORK:
102.50+ 10m (inequality? ) 55+ 60m
-50m (inequality ?) 47.50
m (inequality ??) -95??? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You're mixing your units.
100 cents=$1 so 10 cents=$0.1.
Find the miles when they're equal.
So at 95 miles, the two companies are equal.
At 0 miles, Company A's bill is greater.
So after 95 miles, Company B's bill is greater.
