39.95-19.95=20
.39-.29=.10
20/.10=200m
.39-.29=.10
20/.10=200m

cost1 = .39x +19.95 , where x is the number of mile
cost2 = .29x + 39.95
when is cost1 = cost2 ?
.39x + 19.95 = .29x + 39.95
.1x = 20
x= 20/.1 = 200
the cost is the same at 200 miles
cost2 = .29x + 39.95
when is cost1 = cost2 ?
.39x + 19.95 = .29x + 39.95
.1x = 20
x= 20/.1 = 200
the cost is the same at 200 miles
