Juan will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has no initial fee but costs $0.80 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $70 and costs an additional $0.70 per mile driven. How many miles would Juan need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?

@mathstudent55 could you guide me along with this one please

First, I would let "x" represent the number of miles driven, then create 2 equations and set them equal to each other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[0.80x = 0.70x + 70\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is 700
