Answer:
300 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Prestige car rentals charges $44 per day plus 6 cents per mile
Let the distance will be covered by both = x miles
equation will be = 44+$0.06x ---(1)
Gateway Auto charges $35 per day plus 9 cents per mile.
35 + $0.09x-------- (2)
The number of miles will both companies charge the same price
44 + 0.06x = 35 + 0.09x
44 = 35 + 0.09x - 0.06x
44 = 35 + 0.03x
44 - 35 = 0.03x
9 = 0.03x
x = [tex]\frac{9}{0.03}[/tex]
x = 300 miles
on 300 miles both companies charges the same price.
