Answer:

At mile 3 company A will start charging less.

Explanation:

I came to this conclusion by realizing that no matter what company A will always charge $107 so, in theory all we needed to do was get company eight to $108. So having this mind set I created the equation, 65 + .70x . I continuously kept on changing what was in x until the price was just above Company A's. And the number that got me there was 3.
