Suppose a car rental agency gave you the following choices: Option A: $40 per day plus $0.40 per mile Option B: Flat $60 per day The equations for each option are graphed below. From the graph, estimate the daily mileage for which both rates are the same.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The point where both lines intersect on the graph represents the mileage for which both rates are the same. From the graph, it appears to be around 50 miles. Therefore, Option B would be the best choice for daily mileage less than 50 miles, and Option A would be the best choice for daily mileage greater than 50 miles.
