    The answer to this question would be: 5 days

    In this question, there are two kinds of rent pricing and you are asked to find the number of days when both of them will charge the same price.

    From the description, you can get an equation of each price which would look like this (x=number of day rent):

    cost1 = 110 + 46x

    cost2 = 70 + 54x

    Then, the days when the price same would be:

    cost1 = cost2

    110 + 46x = 70+54x

    110-70 = 54x - 46x

    40 = 8x

    x=5
