Question

rent-a-car charges $30 to rent a car plus $0.25 per mile. save-to-rent charges $25 to rent a car plus $0.41 per mile. after how many miles will the cost be the same to rent a car? write and solve an equation to model the problem. explain the meaning of the solution. keyboard help

Explanation:

Answer:

Let \( x \) be the number of miles. The equation is \( 75 + 0.25x = 25 + 0.41x \). Solving: \( 0.41x - 0.25x = 75 - 25 \), \( 0.16x = 50 \), \( x = 312.5 \). After \( 312.5 \) miles, the cost of renting a car from both companies is the same.
