A truck can be rented from Company A for $160 a day plus $0.40 per mile. Company B charges $80 a day plus $0.90 per mile to rent the same truck. Find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same.

la respuesta correcta es $123.222per mile

T he number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same is when x = 160miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let us  write the rental cost with each company:

Company A , they will charge =$160 +$ 0.40x

Company B, They will charge = $80 + $0.90x

Where x =number of miles travelled

Step 2

we then find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B will be  the same by equating both equations and solving for x

160 + 0.40x= 80 + 0.90x

160-80 = 0.90x-0.40x

80= 0.50x

x= 80/0.5

x= 160

Therefore t he number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same is when x = 160 miles.
