: The cost of renting a small truck at U-Haul is $35 per day plus .20 cents a mile. The cost of renting the same truck at Ryder is $25 per day plus .32 cents a mile. How far would you have to drive in one day for the cost of renting from U-haul to equal the cost of renting from Ryder? This question is from textbook math with applications
You can put this solution on YOUR website! U = 3500 + 20M for U-Haul
R = 2500 + 32M for Ryder
to cost the same, U = R
3500 + 20M = 2500 + 32M
1000 = 12M
M = 1000/12 = 250/3 = 83 1/3 miles.
