Question

A cell phone company offers two different calling plans. The first plan follows the values posted in the table shown. The second plan charges $0.05 per text message plus a flat monthly rate of $40. Which plan is better for a customer who sends and receives 700 text messages each month? Plan 1, because the cost of 700 text messages is $80.
B) Plan 1, because no customer would pay more than $60.



C) Plan 2, because the other company would charge $60.



D) Plan 2, because the cost of 700 text messages is $75

Answer 1

Plan 1 : for 700 messages...it is $ 80
plan 2 : for 700 messages : 40 + 0.05(700) = 40 + 35 = $ 75

so the better plan is plan 2...because the cost of messages is $ 75
