Question 4854
Let x = number of miles traveled.
Cost for Fenton = .49x + 32.85
Cost for Handy = .48x + 31.95


Price is the same, when these are equal:

.49x + 32.85 = .48x + 31.95


Solve for x!  BUT WAIT!!  Handy is cheaper in their initial cost AND also in cost per mile.  Therefore they will be cheaper no matter how many miles.  If you solve the equation above, you  will have a negative answer, which means that there is NO SOLUTION.  Is this a trick question, or did you copy it wrong??
