You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Company A charges $55 per day plus $0.35 per mile to rent a car.
A(x) = 55x + 0.35m
---------------
Company B charges $50 per day plus $0.40 per mile.
B(x) = 50x + 0.40m
---------------
Jack wants to rent a car for three days.
Solve:
(55*3+0.35m) < (50*3+0.40m)
---
5*3 < 0.05m
m > 15/0.05
m > 300 miles
