Answer:

For minutes less than 50, Verizon's monthly plan will be less expensive then T mobiles.

Explanation:

Let the minutes used be
x.

Given:

Cost per minute by Verizon = $ 0.50

Total cost for
x minutes by Verizon =

0.5x

Cost per minute by T mobile = $ 0.10

Cost for
x minutes by T mobile =

0.1x

Fixed cost charged by T mobile = $ 20

Therefore, the total cost charged by T mobile =
0.1x+20

Now, for Verizon cost to be less than T mobile's cost,


0.5x<0.1x+20\\0.5x-0.1x<20\\0.4x<20\\x<(20)/(0.4)\\x<50

Therefore, for
x<50, Verizon's monthly plan will be less than that of T mobile's plan.

So, for up to 50 minutes, Verizon's plan is cheaper than T mobile's plan.
