Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:125 milesStep-by-step explanation:Write formulas for the amount of $ that would be due each of the two companies and set these equal to one another prior to solving for the number of days:A: $35 + ($0.45/mile)x B: $60 + ($0.25/mile)xThen $35 + ($0.45/mile)x = $60 + ($0.25/mile)x, or($0.20/mile)x = $25 $25dividing both sides by $0.20 yields x = ------------------- = 125 miles $0.20/mileThe charges made by the two companies would become equal after the 125th mile. After that, Company B would become cheaper.
