Question:
Anne Kelly went to a conference in Montreal for a week. She decided to rent a car and checked with two rental firms. Avery wanted $56 per day, with no mileage fee. Hart wanted $216 per week and $0.28 ... per mile (or part of a mile). How many miles must she drive before the Avery car becomes the better deal?Answer:
7 days in a week, so the avery car is 7 x 56 = 392Hart is 216 per week. So the difference is 392-216 =176
So for the avery car to be a better deal they must travel $176 worth of miles. So just divide 176 by 0.28 and this will tell you how many miles they need to drive to equal the price. Then just add 1
(I'll let you do that last bit)
