Question

Chris is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies he can choose from, and they have the following prices.

Company A has no initial fee but charges 80 cents for every mile driven.

Company B charges an initial fee of $65 and an additional 30 cents for every mile driven.

For what mileages will Company A charge more than Company B?

Use m for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for m.

Answer 1

Company A

Cost = 0.80 m

Company B

Cost = 65 + 0.30 m

A>B when 0.80 m > 65 + 0.30 m

0.50 m > 65

m > (65 / 0.50)

m > 130
