    Answer: Ravi would drive 250 miles for both plans to cost the same.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of miles for which Ravi needs to drive for the two plans to cost the same.

    The first plan has an initial fee of $59.96 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven. It means that the cost of driving x miles with this plan is

    0.14x + 59.96

    The second plan has an initial fee of $69.96 and costs an additional $0.10 per mile driven. It means that the cost of driving x miles with this plan is

    0.1x + 69.96

    For both plans tho be the same, the number of miles would be

    0.14x + 59.96 = 0.1x + 69.96

    0.14x - 0.1x = 69.69 - 59.69

    0.04x = 10

    x = 10/0.04

    x = 250
