It says to estimate first 1,537 turns to 2,000 because the 5 is 5 or more so the 1 becomes 2 and everything else is zeros. Now multiply 2000x 242=484,000 is the Estimation. Now find the correct product for 1,537x242=371,954
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
X= 41.666666 repeating. not sure if you wanted the (x)(3) or if you meant x cubed, so x^3
