Answer:

The charges of both companies will be same if truck is driven 200 miles per day

Company A will have better deal if truck is driven more than 200 miles per day ( because per mile rate of company A is less than company B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the truck is driven X miles per day

Charges of company A will be = 90+0.4X

Charges of company B will be =30+0.7X

Let us find out value of X when charges of both companies are same

which means that   90+0.4 X= 30+0.7X

                            90-30      = 0.7X-0.4X

                            60    = 0.3X

                             60/0.3 = X

                             X= 200
