Question 1109779: Abdul Car Rental charges its customers SAR 26 per day plus SAR 0.20 per mile. Its competitor Ahmad rents cars for SAR 35 per day plus SAR 0.08 per mile.
How many miles you need to drive on a four day rental so that the cost of the two alternatives would be same?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4 days' rental from (Abdul/B) is 26x4 = 104
4 days' rental from (Ahmad/D) is 35x4 = 140
The difference is $36
B = .20
D = .08
A difference of .12
How many times does .12 go into 36?
300
Prove.
B = (26x4) + (300x.2) = 104 + 60 = 164
D = (35x4) + (300x.08) = 140 + 24 = 164
