Question

A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs 8 plus an additional 0.16 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs 20 plus an additional 0.14 for each minute of calls.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total time when cost are equal = 600 minutes

Total cost = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Plan A = costs 8 plus an additional 0.16 for each minute

Plan B = costs 20 plus an additional 0.14 for each minute

Find:

Total time when cost are equal

Computation:

Assume total time = x minutes

Plan A = 8 + 0.16x

Plan B = 20 + 0.14x

Plan A = Plan B

8 + 0.16x =  20 + 0.14x

0.02x = 12

x = 600 minutes

Total time when cost are equal = 600 minutes

Total cost = 8 + 0.16x

Total cost = 8 + 0.16(600)

Total cost = 104
