Answer:

125 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Write formulas for the amount of $ that would be due each of the two companies and set these equal to one another prior to solving for the number of days:

A:  $35 + ($0.45/mile)x  

B:  $60 + ($0.25/mile)x

Then $35 + ($0.45/mile)x = $60 + ($0.25/mile)x, or

($0.20/mile)x = $25

                                                                       $25

dividing both sides by $0.20 yields  x = ------------------- = 125 miles

                                                                    $0.20/mile

The charges made by the two companies would become equal after the 125th mile.  After that, Company B would become cheaper.
