Sara wants to know what company to go with if her average gigabyte usage is 7 gigabytes per month. Explain which plan she should use, Company C or D? Make sure you support your choice with mathematical evidence.

Answer 1

Answer: Company D
Step by step explanation:
First we need to figure out how much money it would be for company C. If it is $15 per month and $12 per gigabytes used. We would set up and equation that would look like 15 + 12g (g= gigabyte used) and in this case we would substitute G for 7 which would look like 15 +12(7), 15 + 84= $99. Meaning that if Sara were to go with Company c she would be spending $99. Not we would solve for Company D, there is not much to solve for Company D considering that it is only $75 a month and includes unlimited data. If Sara were to go with Company C she would be spending $24 more than sue if she were to choose company D.
