Sunset rents an SUV at $21.95 plus $0.23 per mile. Sunrise rents the same vehicle for $24.95 plus $0.19 per mile. For what mileage is the cost the same?

Question

algebra 2

Answer 1

m = number of miles

 

21.95 + 0.23m = 24.95 + 0.19m

21.95 + 0.04m = 24.95

0.04m = 3

m = 75

 

The costs are equal at 75 miles.
