Answer 1

Company one cause the equation for it is y=0.04x. If you do y=0.04(500) u get 20$ as the total.

Answer 2

company 1 is offering the cheapest plan.

Explanation:

Since company 1 charges 0.04 cents per text messages.

So for 500 text messages total charges by the company = 0.04×500 = $20

Now at the same time company B is charging

from 0 - 100 messages = $5

from 101 - 200 messages = $10

from 201 - 300 messages = $15

from 301 - 400 messages = $20

from 401 - 500 messages = $25

Total charges for 500 text messages = 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 = $75

So, company 2 is costlier than company 1.

Therefore, company 1 is offering the cheapest plan.
