uhaila will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans.
The first plan has an initial fee of $50 and costs an additional $0.10 per kilometer driven.
The second plan has no initial fee but costs $0.60 per kilometer driven.
How many kilometers would Suhaila need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the problem, you have this equation
50 + 0.10*x = 0.60*x
to find the number of kilometers x.
From the equation, you have
50 = 0.60x - 0.1x
50 = (0.60 - 0.10)*x
50 = 0.50x
x =
= 100.
