How many Miles until they are equal.

Question

A truck can be rented from Company A for ​$130 a day plus ​$0.50 per mile. Company B charges ​$70 a day plus ​$0.60 per mile to rent the same truck. Find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same

Answer 1

130 + 0.5x = 70 + 0.6x

60 = 0.1x

600 = x

600 miles, the cost shall be $430.

Company B is cheaper for mileage LESS than 600 miles.

Otherwise, Company A is cheaper
