Problema Solution
Latoya is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.
Company A charges $138 and allows unlimited mileage.
Company B has an initial fee of $75 and charges an additional $0.90 for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B? Use m for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for m .
Answer provided by our tutors
Charges of company A = $138
Charges of company B = $ 75+0.90m
138 < 75+0.90m
0.90m > 138-75
0.90m > 63
m > 63/0.90
m > 70 miles
Company A charge less than Company B when more than 70 miles are driven.
