Wendy is starting a catering business and is attempting to figure out who she should be using to transport the food to different locations. She has found two trucking companies that are willing to make sure her food arrives intact. Peter’s Pick Up charges $0.40 per mile and charges a flat fee of $68. Helen’s Haulers charges $0.65 per mile and charges a flat fee of $23.
For what distance would the cost of transporting to the produce be the same for both companies? What is that equal cost?
There is No equivalent distance for the two companies. They both run on two different scales and rates so they two different outcome. There is not a lcm or gcm so they meet at different times and that's makes a different cost
ReplyDeleteIf Peter's Pick Up go 13 miles, the cost of transporting will be $5.20. If Helen's Haulers go 8 miles, the cost of transporting will be $5.20. The equal cost is $5.20.
ReplyDelete0.40x13= 5.20 (Peter's Pick Up)
0.65x8= 5.20 (Helen's Haulers)
I agree with Alexis oliver because peters pick up is would be 13 miles and helens haulers would be 8 miles when they both would equally cost $5.20

ReplyDelete0.40 x 13= 5.20 (Peter's Pick Up Truck)
0.65 x 8 = 5.20 (Helen's Haulers Truck)
Peters pick up truck goes 180 miles, same as helens haulers truck. The cost of both company's would be 140 dollars.
ReplyDelete.65x+23=.40x+68
-.40x -.40x
.25x+23=68
-23 -23
.25x = 45
.25x/.25 = 45/.25
X= 180
.65(180)+23=.40(180)+68
140=140
There will be 180 miles when both truck companies are equal. The cost for both companies is $140
ReplyDelete.65x+23=.40x+68

.25x/.25=45/.25
X=180miles
.65(180)+23=.40(180)+68
140=140
There is about 180 miles, like DaJon said because if you say $68+$0.40 X 180 then $23 + $0.65 X 180 they both equal $140

The answer I got was 180 miles. I got this answer by setting up and solving the equation .40x+68=.65x+23
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alexis Oliver because,

They both equal the same distance. That's why I agree with Alexis.
