    250 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let n be the number of miles

    first plan: cost = 41.98 + 0.16n

    second plan: cost = 51.98 + 0.12n

    for the same cost, equate the two equations above

    41.98 + 0.16n = 51.98 + 0.12n

    0.16n - 0.12n = 51.98 - 41.98

    0.04n = 10

    n = 10/0.04

    n = 250
