Question

Two companies rent moving trucks. Pack and Go charges a $39.95 flat fee, and $0.45 for every mile driven. U-Drive charges a $59.95 flat fee, and $0.35 for every mile driven. At how many miles is the cost of the truck rentals the same?

Answer 1

Answer:

The indifference point is 200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to establish the total cost formula for each company:

Pack and Go:

Total cost= 39.95 + 0.45x

x= miles driven

U-Drive:

Total cost= 59.95 + 0.35x

x= miles driven

Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:

39.95 + 0.45x = 59.95 + 0.35x

0.1x = 20

x= 200 miles

The indifference point is 200 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

A is answer 1/ 39.95 + .45x = 59.95 + .35x

B is answer 3/ miles driven

C is 3 /200
