Answer:

Option B. 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Christian is comparing two checking accounts.

First account has monthly fee = $7.00

and a per check fee = $0.20

Second account has monthly fee = $8.00

and a per check fee = $0.15

Now make equation to compare both accounts

7 + 0.20x = 8 + 0.15x

7 = 8 + 0.15x - 0.20x

7 = 8 - 0.05x

7 - 8 = -.05x

-1 = - 0.05x

x = $\frac{1}{0.05}$

x = 20

On 20th check first account and second account are charged equal.

on 21st check second account would be a better option.
