Amanda is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices. Company A charges $111 and allows unlimited mileage. Company B has an initial fee of $55 and charges an additional $0.70 for every mile driven. For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B? Use m for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for m.

For mileages higher than 80 miles Company A  will charge less than Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

Company A charges $111 and allows unlimited mileage.

Company A =111

Company B has an initial fee of $55 and charges an additional $0.70 for every mile driven

Company B = 55+0.70m

Where m is the number of miles.

Company A has to charge less than Company B

a<b

111 < 55+0.70m

Solving for m

111-55 < 0.70 m

56 < 0.70m

56/0.70 < m

80 < m  

For mileages higher than 80 miles Company A will charge less than Company B

a) 7x=7
