Question

Please help

Answer 1

Part C:

y = total cost

M = minutes

You can talk on the phone only 100 minutes per month

Company A:

y = 0.04M + 5

y = 0.04(100) + 5

y = 4 + 5

y = 9             $9 per month

Company B:

y = 0.10M + 2

y = 0.10(100) + 2

y = 10 + 2

y = 12          $12 per month

Company A offers the best deal because at Company A you have to pay $9 for 100 minutes per month, and at Company B you have to pay $12 for 100 minutes per month, so you have to pay $3 less.

Part D:

1.) With a budget of $30, Company A would allow me to talk longer on the phone. I know this because for Company A, you pay $3 less per month for the same amount of minutes as Company B. This means that I will save more money with Company A, and I can buy more minutes. (something like this)
