When it comes to reimbursement packages, company a offers $175 plus $0.55 per mile. company b offers $200 plus $0.45 per mile. what number of miles driven would make the two reimbursement packages equal?
For this case we have the following equations: y = 0.55x + 175 y = 0.45x + 200 We equate both equations: 0.55x + 175 = 0.45x + 200 We clear the value of x: 0.55x - 0.45x = 200 - 175 0.10x = 25 x = 250 miles Answer: A number of thousands driven that would make the two reimbursement packages equal is: x = 250 miles
