For how many miles is the rental cost at both companies the same?

The rental costs at both companies are the same at
miles.

200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

(Let m represent the number of miles)

60 + 15 + 0.75m  =  55 + 0.85m

75 + 0.75m  =  55 + 0.85m

75 - 55 + 0.75m  =  55 - 55 + 0.85m

20 + 0.75m  =  0.85m

20 + 0.75m - 0.75m  =  0.85m - 0.75m

20  =  0.1m

20/0.1  =  0.1m/0.1

m  =  200
