Answer:

The total charge of Richard’s Rental Car be no more than the total charge of Freddy’s Rental Car for x miles is [tex]x \geq 100[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Richard’s Rental Car rental fee = $55

Cost for 1 mile = $0.25

Cost for x miles = 0.25 x

So, total charge for Richard's rental car = 55+0.25x

Freddy’s Rental Car rental fee = $45

Cost for 1 mile = $0.35

Cost for x miles = 0.35 x

So, total charge for Richard's rental car = 45+0.35x

We are supposed to find . For how many miles, x, will the total charge of Richard’s Rental Car be no more than the total charge of Freddy’s Rental Car

So, [tex]55+0.25x \leq 45+0.35x55-45 \leq 0.35x -0.25x\\10 \leq 0.1x\\\frac{10}{0.1} \leq x\\100 \leq x[/tex]

So, Option C is true

Hence the total charge of Richard’s Rental Car be no more than the total charge of Freddy’s Rental Car for x miles is [tex]x \geq 100[/tex]
