Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has a $27 monthly fee and charges an additional $0.12 for each minute of calls. The second plan has no monthly fee but charges $0.16 for each minute of calls. For how many minutes of calls will the costs of the two plans be equal?

The first plan : y = 27 + 0.12x
Second plan : y = 0.16x

27 + 0.12x= 0.16x
27 = 0.04x

x = 67.5 minutes
