Ivanna will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $ 49.96 and costs an additional $ 0.12 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $ 37.96 and costs an additional $ 0.16 per mile driven. How many miles would Ivanna need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?
