A rental car agency charges $15 per day plus $.11 per mile to rent a certain car. Another agency charges $18 per day plus 8 cents per mile to rent the same car. If they rent the car for one day how many miles will they have to be driven for the cost of a car from the first agency to equal the cost of a car from the second agency.
15 + .11 x = 18 + .08 x
l pay 900.00 rent for 31 days, l moved in on 13 of august and moving out on 4;th september.
how much would l get for 9 days from my landlord.
thanks
jacky.
22 days of rent
Per day rent charge (900/31) = $29.03
22 (29.03)= $638.66
Bruce drives 106 miles and gets paid $55.00. What would that be per mile?
To determine the number of miles that need to be driven for the cost of a car from the first agency to equal the cost of a car from the second agency, we can set up an equation and solve for the unknown variable (miles driven).
Let's denote the number of miles driven as "x".
For the first agency:
Cost = $15 (per day) + $0.11 (per mile) * x
For the second agency:
Cost = $18 (per day) + $0.08 (per mile) * x
We want to find the value of "x" that makes the costs equal, so we can set up the equation:
$15 + $0.11x = $18 + $0.08x
Now, let's solve for "x":
$0.11x - $0.08x = $18 - $15
$0.03x = $3
x = $3 / $0.03
x = 100
Therefore, 100 miles need to be driven for the cost of a car from the first agency to equal the cost of a car from the second agency when rented for one day.
