Question 264018
You contacted two local rental companies and obtained the following information for the one-day cost of renting a truck.
-------------------- 
Company 1 charges $40.95 per day plus $0.19 per mile, 
----------
Company 2 charges $19.95 per day plus $0.49 per mile.
---------------------- 
Let n represent the total number of miles driving in 1 day.
================================================================== 
Write an equation to determine the total cost of renting a truck for a day from company 1.
C1(n) = 40.95 + 0.19n
----------------------------- 

Write an equation to determine the total cost of renting a truck for a day from company 2.
C2(n) = 19.95 + 0.49n
---------------------------------- 

Use the results in parts a and b to write an inequality that can be used to determine for what number of miles it is less expensive to rent the truck from company 2.
19.95+0.49n < 40.95+0.19n
0.30n < 21
n < 70 miles
------------------- 

Solve the inequality in part c.
Done
==================================
