Answer 1

Answer:

A. Nicholas will have to pay less using plan A

B. He will pay US$ 4 less than plan B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's compare how much Nicholas will pay on internet service in Plan A and plan B, after using it 16 hours and 40 minutes.

Plan A

Up to 10 hours = US$ 6

Every subsequent 1/2 hour: $1

10 hours + 14 (1/2 hour)

Nicholas will pay 6 + 14 * 1 = US$ 20

Plan B

Up to 12 hours = US$ 4

Every subsequent 1/2 hour: $2

12 hours + 10 (1/2 hour)

Nicholas will pay 4 + 2 * 10 = 24
