Complete question :
Tom will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $57.98 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $53.98 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven. How many miles would Tom need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?
Answer:
200 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let miles driven = x
First option :
57.98 + 0.14x
Second option :
53.98 + 0.16x
First option = second option
57.98 + 0.14 = 53.98 + 0.16x
57.98 - 53.98 = 0.16x - 0.14x
4 = 0.02x
x = 200
200 miles
