You can put this solution on YOUR website! A car rental company has two rental rates.
--------------------
Let "x" be # of miles driven
------------------
Rate 1 is $54 per day plus $.12per mile.
Cost1 = 54 + 0.12x
-------------
Rate 2 is $108 per day plus $.06 per mile.
Cost 2 = 108 + 0.06x
--------------
If you plan to rent for one day,how many miles would you need to drive to pay less by taking Rate 2?
INEQUALITY:
Cost 2 < Cost 1
108 + 0.06x < 54 + 0.12x
54 < 0.06x
x > 900 miles
================
