Question

Greg will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $42 and costs an additional $0.20 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $53 and costs an additional $0.15 per mile drive?

Answer 1

When the second option becomes cheaper?

Explanation:

`42 + (0.2timesL) = 53 + (0.15timesL)`

`0.2timesL - 0.15timesL = 53-42`

`0.05L = 11`

`L=11/0.05`

`L=220`

If Greg makes greater than 220 miles, he should rent the car from the second company.

If the total mileage is less than 220 miles, it is better to rent a car from the first company.
