Bill wants to rent a car. rental company a charges $35 per day plus $0.10 per mile driven. rental company b charges $25 per day plus $0.15 per mile. how many miles driven will the price charged by each company be the same.

m = 200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Rental Co. A:  A(m) = $35 + ($0.10/mile)(m), where m is the number of miles driven

Rental Co. B:  B(m) = $25 + ($0.15/mile)(m)

Set these two dollar amounts equal to each other and solve for m:

$25 + ($0.15/mile)m = $35 + ($0.10/mile)(m).  Combine like terms, obtaining:

($0.05/mile)m = $10; then m = ($10) / ($0.05/mile), or 200 miles.

The price charged by the two companies would be the same when the car has been driven 200 miles.

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.

but there’s no any figure there!
