The answer is 2,134 because you do 12% times 9,700 + 970
Answer: 286 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
x : # of months that has gone by
0.24x : cost of the 24 cent plan after "x" minutes
39.95 + 0.10x : cost of the 10 cent plan after "x" minutes
1. 39.95 + 0.10x > 0.24x
2. 39.95 > 0.24x - 0.10x
3. 39.95 > 0.14x
4. 285.36 > x
x must be AT LEAST 286 minutes for plan #2 (39.95 + 0.10x) to be a better deal
The equation to find out the volume in this case is V=x*x*2x, or V=2x^3. Use this we can get that the volumes would be 16, 54, 128, and 250.
