Answer:

  more than 410

Step-by-step explanation:

For x miles, the second plan costs ...

  p2 = 50 +0.25(x -250)

For the first plan to be cheaper requires ...

  p1 < p2

  90 < 50 +0.25(x -250)

  40 < 0.25(x -250) . . . . . . subtract 50

  160 < x -250 . . . . . . . divide by 0.25

  410 < x . . . . . . . . . add 250

For more than 410 miles in one day, the unlimited plan would save money.
