Cars For You will rent a car for $11.00 per day plus $.27 per mile driven. Rent-A-Rama will rent the same car for $26.00 per day plus $.07 per mile driven. a. Write an equation that represents the situation when the total rental cost for one day is the same at both rental agencies. b. For how many miles is the total rental cost for one day the same for each car? c. If you plan to rent a car for one day and drive 100 miles, which rental agency should you choose?

OpenStudy (mstv1112):

A.) 0.27m +!1 = .07m+26 I don't understand B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[11+.27x=26+.07x\] solve fo r\(x\)

OpenStudy (mstv1112):

X=75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (mstv1112):

Okay so B. is 75 And C.) .27 * 100 + 11 = $38 (Car for you) .07 * 100 + 26 = $33 (Rent A Rama)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since 100 is bigger than 75, the one with the lower price per mile is cheaper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you wrote

OpenStudy (mstv1112):

Okay so that's right?
