Question 24840: Sunshine truck rentals rents a truck at a daily rate of $57.99 plus $.48 per mile. City Rentals rents the same size truck at $58.95 plus $.46 per mile. For at what mileage is the cost the same? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let number of miles driven be "x".
Sunshine will charge 57.99 + 0.48x
City Rent will charge 58.95+0.46x
EQUATION:
Set the charges equal to one another and solve for "x":
Multiply thru by 100 to get rid of the decimal amounts:
5799+48x = 5895+46x
2x = 96
x=48 miles (cost the same for driving 48 miles)
Cheers,
