Question

Ivan will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of 46$ and cost and additional $0.17 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $53 and cost an additional $0.12 per mile driven.

For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same?

What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?

Answer 1

46+.17m=53+.12m

.05m = 7

m= 7/.05= 140 miles

cost= 53+.12(140)=53+16.8= $69.80

=46+.17(140)=46+23.8=$69.80
