Question

One cell phone company charges $26.50 a month plus $0.15 a minute for calls. Another company charges $14.50 a month and $0.25 a minute for calls. For how many minutes is the cost of the plans the same?

Answer 1

Explanation:

company 1- 26.50 + 0.15 a min for calls

Company 2- 14.50 + 0.25a min for calls

14.50+0.25=14.75$ 15.00$ 15.25$ 15.50$ 15.75$ 16

26.50+0.15=26.65$ 26.8$

26.50+t*0.15=14.50+t*0.25

t*0.1=12

t=120 mins

120x0.25=30.00+14.50=44.50

120x0.15=18.00+ 26.50=44.5=44.50
