4. Jane and Terry went to Long Island for a week. They needed to rent a car, so they checked out two rental firms. Avis wanted $28 per day with no mileage fee. Hertz wanted $108 per week and $0.14 per mile. How many miles would they have to drive before the Avis price is less than Hertz’s price?

Answer:

Anything more than 89.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Hertz charges $108/week, divide that by 7 so you have the daily rate.

Which is $15.43. Then set 28 = 15.43 + .14x. Subtract 15.43 from both sides.

12.57 = .14x Then divide both sides by .14  x = 89.8 miles is the break even point, so anything over that is when the Avis price would be less and anything under that is when the Hertz price is less.
