Answer 2

Plan A

Explanation:

Gina plans to use less than 500 minutes each month.

The cost four plans are given in the table.

Let's find the cost of each plan assuming that Gina use 500 minutes.

Plan cost = Monthly fee + const per minute

Plan A cost = $15 + 500*0.05 = $15 + $25 = $40

Plan B cost = $5 + 500*0.15 = $5 + $75 = $80

Plan C cost = $10 + 500*0.10 = $10 + $50 = $60

Plan D cost = $20 + 500*0.20 = $20 + $100 = $120

By comparing the price, the Plan A is cost effective plan.

therefore, the answer is Plan A.
