Ivan 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 
$82
 and allows unlimited mileage.
Company B has an initial fee of 
$55
 and charges an additional 
$0.90
 for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B?
Use 
m
 for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for 
m
