Nancy is trying to decide which cell phone plan would be the right one for her. She has

narrowed her choices down to two, Spirit and Horizon. Spirit (s) has a fixed fee of $20 and an
additional charge of 5 cents per minute. Horizon (h) has no fee and charges 15 cents per minute.
Write two equations that could be used to determine the total cost for each plan for 300 minutes?
A. s = 5x + 20
h=15x

B. s = 0.05x + 20
h = 0.15x

C. s = 15x
h = 5x + 20

D. s = 0.15x
h = 0.05x + 20

Final answer:

The correct equations for determining the total cost of cell phone plans for 300 minutes are provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equations that could be used to determine the total cost for each plan for 300 minutes are:

Spirit (s): s = 0.05x + 20

Horizon (h): h = 0.15x

For the Spirit plan, the fixed fee is $20, and there is an additional charge of 5 cents per minute. So, we multiply the number of minutes (x) by 0.05 and add 20.

For the Horizon plan, there is no fee, and the charge is 15 cents per minute. So, we multiply the number of minutes (x) by 0.15.
