Question

Your job includes ordering phone service for new employees. You are considering two phone plans. The first plan charges $23.35 per month for one phone line. The second plan charges $14.99 per month for the first three months and then $29.99 per month after that for a phone line. Over the first year, how much will you save on one phone line by choosing the better deal?

Answer 1

Answer:

$34.68

Explanation:

The total cost by following the first plan will be the charge per months times  12 months

= $23.35 x 12

= $280.2

The total cost from the second plan will be the cost of the first three months at  $14.99 plus the cost of 9 months at $29.99

=($14.99 x 3) + ($29.99 x 9)

=$44. 97 +$269.91

=$314.88

The first plan is the better deal. It will save

= $314.88 - $280.2

=$34.68
