Answer: 200 minutes have to be used for the costs of both plans to be the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of minutes that have to be used for the costs of both plans to be the same.
Package A is $35.00 per month with an additional charge of $0.15 per minute for long distance. This means that the cost of using package A for x minutes in a month would be
35 + 0.15x
Package B is $45.00 per month with an additional charge of $0.10 per minute for long distance. This means that the cost of using package A for x minutes in a month would be
45 + 0.1x
For both costs to be the same, it means that
35 + 0.15x = 45 + 0.1x
0.15x - 0.1x = 45 - 35
0.05x = 10
x = 10/0.05
x = 200
8.5 feet(12 inches per foot)= 102 inches total
There are 102 inches in 8.5 feet
Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
8 x
16 100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%
X = -3.5 or -7/2 or -3 1/2
