    The question is missing some important details required to answer the question. I found a similar question, so I will answer using this details. If there is any differences in the details, you can still use my working by changing the value given:

    Abdul will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $38 and costs an idditional $0.11 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $49 and costs an additional $0.07 per mile driven.

    How many miles would Abdul need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?

    Answer:

    275 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the distance travel be X

    First plan:

    Initial fee: 38

    Per mile: 0.11

    So the total cost is

    C1 = 38 + 0.11X

    Second plan:

    Initial fee: 49

    Per mile:0.07

    So the total cost is

    C2 = 49 + 0.07X

    Since the question asked about when the total cost be the same, we can say that C1 = C2

    C1 = C2

    38 + 0.11X = 49 + 0.07X

    0.11X - 0.07X = 49 - 38

    0.04X = 11

    X = 11/0.04 = 275

    At 275 miles, the cost will be the same.
