Answer:

The mileages for which company A charge less than company B when , y [tex]>[/tex] 50 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The two truck companies have following prices

Company A

The initial fee = i = $110

And unlimited mileage

Company B

The initial fee = I = $65

Additional charge = $0.90 per mile driven

Let it driven x mile

Let The mileages for which company A charge less than company B = y

Now, According to question

Charges of company A = charges of company B

i.e i = I + 0.90 × x

Or, $110 = $65 + 0.90 × x

Or, $110 - $65 = 0.90 × x

Or, $45 = 0.90 × x

∴    x = [tex]\dfrac{45}{0.90}[/tex]

i.e  x = 50

i.e  Company B driven x = 50 miles

So, The mileages for which company A charge less than company B = y

And y [tex]>[/tex] x

i.e y [tex]>[/tex] 50

Hence, The mileages for which company A charge less than company B when , y [tex]>[/tex] 50 . Answer
