Henry is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies he can choose from, and they have the following prices.

Company A charges an initial fee of
$25
and an additional
80
cents for every mile driven.
Company B charges an initial fee of
$44
and an additional
60
cents for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B?

1 answer

A: cost = 25 + .8x
B: cost = 44 + .6x
