ms. call is renting a truck for a day. the two choices she has are company a and company b.

company a charges $35 per day plus $0.45 per mile

company b charges $60 per day plus $0.25 per mile.

what is the minimum number of miles that ms. call would need to drive in order to make renting from company b a better deal.

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.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
