Ann is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.

Company A charges $93 and allows unlimited mileage.

Company B has an initial fee of $65 and charges an additional $0.70 for every mile driven.

For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B?

    m>40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So, since we know that m is for the number of miles driven we can set up the following expressions.

    Company A: 93+0m

    Company B: 65+0.7m

    Now that we know this, we can make it an inequality.

    Company A
    So:

    93+0m<65+0.7m

    0m is 0 so our inequality is now

    93+0<65+0.7m

    Now, we can subtract 65 from both sides.

    93-65+0<0.7m

    Combine like terms.

    28<0.7m

    Divide both sides by 0.7

    40
    So

    m>40

    This means that company A charges less for mileages over 40.

    Ans: greater than 40 mileage Company A will charge less than Company B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    as company A charges a fix amount $93 for any distance and company B charges variable amount starting from $65. there will be a certain mileage after that the amount charged by company B should be greater than company A.

    let for greater than m mileage company A will

    charge less than company B.

    charge for company A for m mileage = $93

    charge for company B for m mileage = $65 + $0.70*m

    so,

    93 ≤ 65+0.70*m

    93-65 ≤ 65+0.70*m - 65

    28 ≤ 0.70*m

    28*10 ≤ 7 * m

    280 ≤ 7m

    280/7 ≤ 7m/7

    40 ≤ m
