Streaming movies from Company A costs $3 per movie plus a monthly fee of $9. Streaming movies from Company B costs $4 per movie
with no monthly fee. The monthly cost to stream movies depends on the number of movies, m streamed. Which inequality represents the situation when the monthly cost at Company A is less than the monthly cost at Company B? A) 3m + 4 > 9m
B) 3m + 9 < 4m
C) 3m + 9 > 4m
D) 3m + 4 < 9m
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for the total cost of each case using the information given:
Company A: To obtain the total cost at company A we have to multiply the number of movies streamed (m ) by the cost of each movie (3) and add the monthly fee(9)
A=3 m+ 9
Where m is the number of movies streamed.
Company B:
B= 4m
If the monthly cost at Company A is less than the monthly cost at Company B, it means that the cost at company B Is more than the cost at company A.
