A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $30 plus an additional $0.15 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs $16 plus an additional $0.20 for each minute of calls.
For what amount of calling do the two plans cost the same?
What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?
Plan A = 30 +0.15x
Plan B = 16 +0.20x
30+0.15x = 16+0.20x
subtract 16 from each side
14 +0.15x = 0.20x
subtract 0.15x from each side
14=0.05x
x = 14/0.05 = 280 minutes
280*0.15 = 42 +30 = $72
280 * 0.20 = 56 +16 = 72
280 minutes and cost $72 each
