rental car company offers two rental plans, Plan A and Plan B, for the same economy size car. For both plans, the total rental cost, ƒ (m) is a function of the number of miles, m, that the car is driven. In addition to a flat fee of $75, Plan A offers a rate of $0.20 per mile for an unlimited number of miles. Plan B offers a higher mileage rate of $0.35 per mile but does not charge a flat fee for the rental.
