Question

your long distance telephone provider offers two plans, Plan A has a monthly fee of $15 and $0.25 per minute. Plan B has a monthly fee of $20 and $0.05 per minute. Write and solve an equation to find the number of minutes that you must talk to have the same cost for each of the plans.

Answer 1

Plan A:

15+(0.25x)

15+(0.25×80)

15+(20)

35

Plan B:

20+(0.05x)

20+(0.05×300)

20+(15)

35

I am sure there are other numbers that you can use but I just choose the number 35! Good luck!
