Avan can be rented for $50 per day with unlimited mileage, or for $40 per day plus 25 cents per mile . for what daily mileages will be unlimited mileage plan save you money ?

After 0.4 miles the Unlimited Mileage Plan is a better deal.

Daily Mileages > 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

First we can create a Formula to calculate the price of each plan, like so...

Unlimited Mileage:  50x = Total

Per mile: 40x + 25y = Total

Since we want to calculate at what daily mileage the unlimited plan becomes better than the regular, we can substitute x for 1 and equal both plans together. Then solve for the minimum amount of miles in which the prices meet.

...subtract 40 on both sides

.... divide both sides by 25

Now we can see that at 0.4 miles both prices are the same. This means that after 0.4 miles the Unlimited Mileage Plan is a better deal.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at .

step-by-step explanation:

well if you round, things become much more simple. round 5.95 to 6, 4.25 to 4, and 1.05 to 1. now, add 6+4+1 and that would equal 11. so the items together would equal to about $11.
