Answer: Company A would be a better deal for number of minutes over 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of minutes that you would use with either company A or company B.
Company A has a monthly charge of $10 plus 5¢ a minute for each minute of long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is
10 + 0.05x
Company B has a monthly charge of $8 plus 6¢ a minute for long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is 10 + 0.05x
8 + 0.06x
For Company A to be a better deal, it means that
10 + 0.05x < 8 + 0.06x
10 - 8 < 0.06x - 0.05x
2 < 0.01x
0.01x > 2
x > 2/0.01
x > 200
-4x + 28 = 36
28 = 36 + 4x / - 36
-8 = 4x
-2 = x
