There are 2 rival cab companies. Carl's taxi charges a $2 initial fee and 15 cents per mile. Can car charges an initial fee of $1.50 and 20 cents per mile. After about how many miles will the cab companies charge the same amount

10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of miles be x

Step one:

given data

Carl's taxi

initial charge= $2

fee per mile= 15 cent = $0.15

total =0.15x+21

Can car

initial charge= $1.5

fee per mile= 20 cent = $0.2

total =0.20x+1.52

Step two:

equate 1 and 2 to find x

0.15x+2=0.2x+1.5

0.15x-0.2x=1.5-2

-0.05x=-0.5

x=0.5/0.05

x=10

answer: a and b
