Cost Analysis Project

Jack’s car broke down the day before his week long business trip. In order to make it he must rent a car. After looking online he has narrowed it down to two companies, Enterprise and Budget. These were the two lowest priced companies, and they both charge an initial fee, a fee for every mile, and a fee for each day. If Jack has to drive three-hundred miles there, stay a day for his meeting, and drive three-hundred miles back, which company will charge him less.
