Question

Shawn wants to rent a car. Rental Company A charges $35 per day plus $0.10 per mile driven. Rental Company B charges $25 per day plus $0.15 per mile driven. After how many miles driven will the price charged by each company be the same

Answer 1

Answer: 200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Company  A charges $\ 35$ per day and $\ 0.10$ per mile extra

While company B charges $\ 25$ per day and $\ 0.15$ per mile extra

Suppose a car run x miles in a day in both the cases

So, Cost for Car A=35+0.1x

Cost for car B=25+0.15x

when the price is equal

35+0.1x=25+0.15x

10=0.05x

x=200 miles
