Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see from the table that 2 bracelets are made every 30 minutes.
There are 9 intervals of 30 minutes each in 4.5 hours.
So, the number of bracelets that are made in 4.5 hours is
9x2=18
Another way to see this is to note from the table that 4 bracelets are made in 60 minute, which is 1 hour. So, in 4 hours, 16 bracelets will be made. Also, from the table, 2 bracelets are made in 30 minutes, which is 1/2 hour. So, adding up, 18 bracelets are made in 4.5 hours.
First, you need to write to expressions to model each situation:
Plan A: 10+0.15x
Plan B: 30+0.1x
Next, set the expressions equal to each other and solve for x:
10+0.15x=30+0.1x
<em>*Subtract 0.1x from both sides to isolate the variable*</em>
10+0.05x=30
<em>*Subtract 10 from both sides*</em>
0.05x=20
<em>*Divide both sides by 0.05*</em>
x=400
The plans would have the same cost after 400 minutes of calls.
To find how much money the plans cost at 400 minutes, plug 400 into either expression. We'll use Plan A:
10+0.15(400)
10+60
70
The plans will cost $70.
Hope this helps!
