A van rental company charges AED 300 per day plus a fee of AED 110. Another company charges AED 220 per day and a fee of AED 350 . the cost is the same in both companies when renting a van for _______ days.
To find the number of days when the cost of renting a van is the same for both companies, you can set up an equation.
Let's represent the number of days as "d."
For the first company, the cost is AED 300 per day plus a fee of AED 110, so the total cost can be expressed as 300d + 110.
For the second company, the cost is AED 220 per day plus a fee of AED 350, so the total cost can be expressed as 220d + 350.
Now, you want to find when the costs are equal:
300d + 110 = 220d + 350
Now, solve for "d":
80d + 110 = 350
Subtract 110 from both sides:
80d = 350 - 110 80d = 240
Now, divide both sides by 80 to find the number of days:
d = 240 / 80 d = 3
So, the cost is the same for both companies when renting a van for 3 days.
