A moving company offers two price plans,
• The first plan charges a flat rate of $39.95 plus $0.12 per mile driven,
• The second plans charges a flat rate of $19.95 plus $0.28 per mile driven
How many miles must the truck be driven for the two plans to cost the same?


Sagot :

First plan: 39.95 + 0.12m
Second: 19.95 + 0.28m
Set them equal
39.95 + 0.12m = 19.95 + 0.28m
39.95 = 19.95 + 0.16m
20 = 0.16m
m = 125
Solution: 125 miles
