Question 1088993: Martina is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.
Company A charges
$80
and allows unlimited mileage.
Company B has an initial fee of
$65
and charges an additional
$0.60
for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B?
Use
m
for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for
m
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A=$80
B=$60+0.60x, where x is number of miles
Therefore,
$80<60+0.60x
20<0.60x
33
x>=34 miles. That will be $60+34*$0.60=$80.40
