You can put this solution on YOUR website!
c=15+0.24m...Ace
c=29+0.14m...Acme
:
so what we want is Ace>Acme
:
15+.24m>29+.14m
:
.1m>14....subtracted 14m and 15 from both sides
:
highlight%28m%3E140%29miles and Ace will be more expensive
:
which means that when m%3C=140 Ace is equal to or less than Acme's plan
