Respuesta :

It will be cheaper to use Savings Rent-A-Car up to 1000 kilometers, from then on it will be cheaper to use Airport Rent-a-Car.

Given that if one rents a car from Airport Rent-a-Car, the charge is $ 79 plus 7 cents a kilometer, while Savings Rent-A-Car charges $ 59 plus 9 cents a kilometer, to determine, if one will drive D kilometers , when it is cheaper to use Savings Rent-A-Car, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 79 + 0.07 x 30 = 79 + 2.1 = 81.1
  • 59 + 0.09 x 30 = 59 + 2.7 = 61.7
  • 79 + 0.07 x 300 = 100
  • 59 + 0.09 x 300 = 86  
  • 79 + 0.07 x 600 = 121
  • 59 + 0.09 x 600 = 113  
  • 79 + 0.07 x 900 = 142
  • 59 + 0.09 x 900 = 140  
  • 79 + 0.07 x 1000 = 149
  • 59 + 0.09 x 1000 = 149

Therefore, it will be cheaper to use Savings Rent-A-Car up to 1000 kilometers, from then on it will be cheaper to use Airport Rent-a-Car.
