You are choosing between two different cell phone plans. the first plan charges a rate of 25 cents per minute. the second plan charges a monthly fee of $49.95 plus 10 cents per minute. how many minutes would you have to use in a month in order for the second plan to be preferable

.25x = 49.95 + .10x

.25x - .10x = 15x

15x = 49.95

49.95 / 15
3 minutes and 33 seconds
