Question

Car rental company A charges $15 to rent a car plus $2.30 per hour. Car rental company b charges $22 to rent a car plus $1.90 per hour. When would the cost of renting a car from company A be the same as renting a car from company B?

Answer 1

Answer: The cost of renting a car from Company A be the same as renting a car from company B in 17.5 miles

Explanation:

y=2.30x +15

y=1.90x +22

0.4x +7 Divide 0.4 from both sides

x=17.5

y=2.30(17.5)+15

y=40.25+15

y=40.25-15

y=25.25
