Question

Dharma and Jorge are looking at cell phone plans. A

group plan will cost an average of $135.95 per month.
An individual plan will cost an average of $72.75 per
month. Should Dharma and Jorge purchase a group
plan or two individual plans? How much money could
they save?

Answer 1

Dharma and Jorge should purchase a group plan.

They could save $9.55

Explanation:

A group plan will cost an average of $135.95 per month.

An individual plan will cost an average of $72.75 per month.

Two individual plans will cost an average of

`\$72.75\cdot 2=\$145.50`

per month.

Since $145.50 > $135.95, Dharma and Jorge should purchase a group plan.

They could save

`\$145.50-\$135.95=\$9.55`
