I need to rent a car for Megan to get to school. Luxury for Less charges $21.59 plus 14 cents per mile. Cheap Chariots charges $18.25 plus 22 cents per mile. At first glance it looks as if I should go with Cheap Chariots. Still, I'm concerned about the per-mile charge because Megan does a lot of driving. It is more than 30 miles to ASU from my house alone.
- Determine how many miles would Megan have to drive to make the cost of renting a car from Cheap Chariots the same as the cost of renting a car from Luxury for Less?
- Explain which company you think I should rent a car for Megan’s from and why you think it is a better deal.
- Please read the problem carefully. Be sure that you give all the details of your solution, including all the comparisons that you make in order to determine the answer.
