Costo de opcion 1: y = 0.05x + 20

Costo de opcion 2: y = 0.20x + 5

500 (250 cada uno) mensajes en opcion 1: y = 0.05(500) + 20 = 25 + 20 = 45

500 (250 cada uno) mensajes en opcion 2: y = 0.20(500) + 5 = 100 + 5 = 105

Como cada quien paga la mitad:

Pago en opcion 1: 45/2 = $22.50

Pago en opcion 2: 105/2 = $52.50

Respuesta:

Pago en opcion 1: $22.50

Pago en opcion 2: $52.50
