Answer 1

Data Input

Rent-For-Less

$50 for a deposit and $1.25 per mile

Cheap Rides

$1.30 per mile and a $40 deposit

Procedure

Rent-for-less = Cheap Rides

First we define m as the number of miles

50 + 1.25m = 40 + 1.30m

Now let's solve the following equation

$\begin{gathered} 50+1.25m=40+1.30m \\ 50-40=1.30m-1.25m \\ \\ 0.05m=10 \\ m=\frac{10}{0.05} \\ m=200 \end{gathered}$

At 200 miles the price will be the same
