17. ace rent a car charges a flat fee of $15 and $0.23 a mile for their cars. acme rent a car
charges a flat fee of $24 and $0.15 a mile for their cars. use the following model to find out
after how many miles ace rent a car becomes more expensive than acme rent a car,
c = 15 + 0.23m ace
c = 24 + 0.15m acme
a( after 133 miles
b( never
c(after 113 miles
d(after 103 miles

113 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations that define the cost c for each company based on the number of miles, m driven

Ace: c = 15 + 0.23m

Acme : c = 24 + 0.15m

we want to find m when c is the same

hence we can equate both equations

15 + 0.23m  = 24 + 0.15m

0.23m - 0.15m = 24 - 15

0.08m = 9

m = 9/0.08

m = 112.5 ( ~=113 miles)

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
