After that incident, the Civil defense team decided to buy new trucks with ladders higher than 100 feet. They found 2 different trucks with the same height of ladders. The first truck costs $145,000 and will cost $0.31 per mile traveled based on the current gas prices. The second truck will cost $160,000 but gets better gas mileage, costing $0.27 per mile. They need to decide which truck is the best deal.

the first truck

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost difference between the first truck and the second truck = $160,000-$145,000 = $15,000

the difference of gas cost between the first truck and the second truck = $0.31 - $0.26= $0.05 per mile.

so,

I think, this is a very significant number of truck cost compared with gas cost

for the best deal, the first truck is the best choice.
