Zolol [24]

Answer:

at least 450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Find an expression for the cost of each plan as a function of the number of minutes. Set the expressions equal to each other, and solve for the number of minutes.

Let x = number of minutes.

First plan:

cost (in dollars) = 0.21x

Second plan:

cost (in dollars) = 0.11x + 44.95

Set the expressions equal:

0.21x = 0.11x + 44.95

Subtract 0.11x from both sides.

0.1x = 44.95

Divide both sides by 0.1

x = 44.95/0.1

x = 449.5

Since you cannot have a fraction of a minute, the answer is 450 minutes.
