For the journey of #12# miles, each company will charge #$420#.

Explanation:

Suppose that for the travel of #m# miles, the costs are the same.

As per Ozzy's limo company charges, the cost is #$(300+10m)#,

whereas, Geezer's, #$(60+30m)#.

#:. 300+10m=60+30m rArr 300-60=30m-10m#

#rArr 240=20m rArr m=240/20=12#

Hence, travelling #12" miles"# by car provided by either of the

company, the charge of #$420# will be reqd. to be paid.
