Question

Enter the number of minutes where Kendra will pay the same amount for each long distance phone plan.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of minutes in a month must be equal to 50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of minutes

we have

Cost Plan A

$3x+100$

Cost Plan B

$5x$

we know that

In order for plan A cost the same than plan B, the following equation must hold true.

cost of plan A = cost of plan B

substitute

$3x+100= 5x$

solve for x

$5x-3x=100\\2x=100\\x=50\ min$

therefore

The number of minutes in a month must be equal to 50 minutes
