Jessica has the option to switch to a plan that charges $65.00 per month with unlimited text messages. Jessica typically sends about 900 text messages per month. Does it make sense for her to switch to the new plan ? explain.

No, because that would mean that she is spending about $13.85 on 1 message per month. That is ridiculous lol.

Jessica typically sends about 900 text messages per month.

Cost per message under the new plan = $65 / 900 = $ 0.072 per message

It make sense for her to switch to the new plan only if the cost per message in her existing plan is more than $ 0.072

Hope this helps..!!

Thank you :)
