Devin Guerra · Answer 1

The Correct answer would be, When Days will be greater than 5

Explanation:

There are two companies who give cars on rent.

Thrift rents a car for $33 per day

i-e

T=$33D

General rents the car for $20

i-e

G=$20D

and general charges an initial fee of $65

So

G=$20 + $65

So according to question, for how many days it would be cheaper to rent from General.

So when charges by general are less than charges by thrift, as shown below:

65+20D < 33D

65 < 33D-20D

65 < 13D

D > 5

So the answer would be 5 Days.
