Question

A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $13 plus an additional $0.14 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs $24 plus an additional $0.10 for each minute of calls.
For what amount of calling do the two plans cost the same? Minutes

What is the cost when the two plans cost the same? $

Answer 1

Answer:

m = number of minutes calls

Plan A : 30 + 0.15 m

Plan B: 16 + 0.20 m

For what amount of calling do the two plans cost the same?

30 + 0.15m = 16 + 0.20m

0.05m = 14

m = 280

280 minutes of calling, the two plans cost the same

What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?

Plan A: 30 + 0.15 m = 30 + 0.15 (280)  = 72

Plan B: 16 + 0.20 m = 16 + 0.20 (280) = 72

It's cost $72 when the two plans cost the same
