Package A is less expensive for Zach to send 250 multimedia texts each month.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given that,
Zach plans to send 250 multimedia texts each month.
Package A charges $0.25 per multimedia text with no monthly fees.
Package B charges $0.20 per multimedia text, but has a $15 monthly fee.
We need to find out which package is less expensive for Zach to add the plan.
<u>The cost of 250 multimedia texts by package A :</u>
⇒ Number of texts × cost per text
⇒ 250 × 0.25
⇒ 62.5
∴ The package A charges $62.5 for 250 multimedia texts.
<u>The cost of 250 multimedia texts by package B :</u>
⇒ (Number of texts × cost per text) + monthly fee
⇒ (250 × 0.20) + 15
⇒ 50 + 15
⇒ 65
∴ The package B charges $65 for 250 multimedia texts.
The Package A charges $62.5 which is less than package B charge of $65.
Hence, package A is less expensive.
