Question 273560
Safety rent a truck rents a truck at a daily rate of 41.95 plus 29 cents per mile
 city rentals rents the same size truck for 38.95 plus 31 cents per mile
 for what mileage is the cost the same
:
Let m = the mileage when they are equal cost
:
City cost = Safety cost
38.95 + .31m = 41.95 + .29m
:
.31m - .29m = 41.95 - 38.95
:
.02m = 3.00
m = {{{3/.02}}}
m = 150 miles they are equal cost
:
:
Check this yourself in the original cost equation, replace m with 150
