The second plan has an initial fee of 75$ and costs an additional 0.70$ per mile driven. How many miles would Boris need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let number of miles to be driven be x
Plan A = Plan B
0.8 x = 120 + 0.7 x
0.1 x = 120
x = 1200
