A rental car company offers two rental plans, Plan A and Plan B, for the same economy size car. For both plans, the total rental cost is a function of the number of miles that the car is driven. In addition to a flat fee of $75, Plan A offers a rate of $0.20 per mile for an unlimited number of miles. Plan B offers a higher mileage rate of $0.35 per mile but does not charge a flat fee for the rental.

Create a system of linear functions modeling the cost of the car rental plans, A and B, as a function of the miles driven.
For how many miles will the rental fee be the same under both plans A and B?

Respuesta :

Answer:

at 500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Plan A:   y = .2x + 75

Plan B:   y = .35x

Find an xy pair that satisfies both (intersection)

Substitute Plan B's y for Plan A

.35x = .2x + 75

.35x - .2x = 75

.15x = 75

x = 500
