Rapid Rental Car charges $40 rental fee, and $0.25 per mile driven. For the same car, Capital Cars charges $45 for rental fee & gas, and $0.35 per mile driven. For how many miles is the rental cost at both companies the same?

100 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it be for x miles.

40+15+0.25x=45+0.35x

10 =0.1x

x=100

The mile is 45+0.35*100= 80 or 40+15+0.25*100 =80
