Answer: 454.091 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the number of minutes that will be used during a month:

1st) 0.23x

2nd) 49.95 + 0.12x

How many minutes would you have to use in a month in order for the plans to cost the same?

So, when 1st = 2nd

0.23x = 49.95 + 0.12x

0.23x - 0.12x = 49.95

0.11x = 49.95

x = 49.95/0.11

x = 454.091 minutes
