A car rental company has two rates. The first rate is $45 per day plus 29.5 cents per mile. The second rate is $90 per day plus 7 cents per mile. If you rented at the $90 rate, how many miles would you need to drive to break even?

a: 100 mi

b: 200 mi

c: 300 mi

d: 400 mi

B) 200 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let    M = miles that you need to drive

45 + 0.295M  = 90 + 0.07M

90 - 45 = 0.295M - 0.07M

45 = 0.225M

M = 45/0.225

M = 200

Hope this helped :)

so it is 200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

B) 200 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let    M = miles that you need to drive

45 + 0.295M  = 90 + 0.07M

90 - 45 = 0.295M - 0.07M

45 = 0.225M

M = 45/0.225

M = 200

twenty-six miles over two gallons because the proportion for the original 13 miles to one gallon would be written 13/1 and, doing the same thing to the top and bottom, i multiplied by 2 and got 26/2
