Explanation / Answer

Sunshine Car Rental rents a basic car at a daily rate of$17.99 plus 18c per mile . City Rentals rents a basics car at$18.95 plus 16c per mile . For what mileage is the cost the same? Sunshine charges 17.99 + .18m City charges 18.95 + .16m we want to know when these charges are equal so set them equalto each other and solve for m 17.99 + .18m = 18.95 + .16m   subtract .16m fromeach side of equation 17.99 + .02m =18.95                 subtract 17.99 from each side of equation .02m =.96                  divide both sides of equation by .02 m = 48 The charges will be the same whenthe ride is 48 miles long check: 17.99 + .18(48) = 18.95 + .16(48)             17.99 + 8.64   =   18.95 + 7.68                            26.63    = 26.63 I will answer the second problem in a minute
