Rent and drive: php 2000 per day plus php 25 per kilometer traveled
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the distance traveled in kilometers per day.
First we will find the distance for which the cost is the same:
1500 + 35x = 2000 + 25x
........
click here to see the equation solved for x
........
x = 50 km
For x = 100 we have
1500 + 35x = 1500 + 35*100 = 1500 + 3500 = 5000
2000 + 25x = 2000 + 25*100 = 2000 + 2500 = 4500
Rent and drive is more economical than LG's rent a car for more than 50 km distance per day.
