Answer:

He need to cover 275 miles for same cost for both plans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of miles

Case 1 :

Initial fee = $38

Additional cost of 1 mile = 0.13

Additional cost of x miles = 0.13x

So, total cost = 38+0.13x

Case 2 :

Initial fee = $49

Additional cost of 1 mile = 0.09

Additional cost of x miles = 0.09x

So, total cost = 49+0.09x

Now we are supposed to find amount of driving do the two plans cost the same

So, 38+0.13x=49+0.09x

0.13x-0.09x=49-38

0.04x=11

[tex]x=\frac{11}{0.04}[/tex]

x=275

Hence he need to cover 275 miles for same cost for both plans
