Question 145016: a rental car agency charges $14 per day plus 9 cents per mile to rent a certain car. another agency charges $19 per day plus 6 cents per mile to rent the same car. hom many miles will have to be driven for the cost of a car from the first agency to equal teh cost of a car from the second agency? round to nearest hundredth mile Answer by shahid(44) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x miles be the distance travelled by a car
rent by first company = (14+ 9x/100) in dollars
rent by second company = (19 + 6x/100) in dollars
follow the condition
14+9x/100=19+6x/100
9x/100-6x/100=19-14
(9x-6x)/100=5
3x=500
x=500/3
x=166.66 or x=167 miles approx.
