Question

Sams moving company charges $40 plus $.20 per miles to rent a van. Joes moving Company charges $25 plus $.35 per mile to rent the same van. For what number of miles will the rental cost be the same for both companies

Answer 1

40 + 0.20m = 25 + 0.35m
40 - 25 = 0.35m - 0.20m
15 = 0.15m
15 / 0.15 = m
100 = m.....they will be the same at 100 miles

Answer 2

m= 15/.15 i dont have a calculator to simplify sorry
