300 minutes because 20+(300*0.15)=66

and 35+(300*0.10)=66.

let minutes = m

let total = t


For the first plan (1), the cell phone plan charges $20 a month (flat fee), and $0.15 per minute.


For the second plan (2), the cell phone plan charges $35 a month (flat fee) and $0.10 per minute


(1) t = 0.15m + 20

(2) t = 0.10m + 35


Because they all equal t, set them equal to each other


0.15m + 20 = 0.10m + 35


0.15m (-0.10m) + 20 (-20) = 0.10m (-0.10m) + 35 (-20)


0.15m - 0.10m = 35 - 20


0.05m = 15


Isolate the m. Divide 0.05 from both sides


0.05m/0.05 = 15/0.05


m = 15/0.05


m = 300


300 minutes is your answer



hope this helps
