Question 947254
$0.32x+$25=$0.40x subtract $0.32x from each side
$25.00=$0.08x Divide each side by $0.08
312.5=x
Actually, it makes sense if you realize mathematically you are making up the $25 at a rate of the 8 cent a mile difference. At 8 cents a mile, it takes 312.5 miles to make $25, so that is the break even point. More mileage favors Option A.
