Question

Two cellphone companies are offering different rate plans. Rogers is offering $19.99 per month, which includes a

maximum of 200 weekday minutes plus $0.35 for every minute above the maximum. TELUS is offering $39.99 for a
maximum 300 weekday minutes, but it charges $0.10 for every minute above the maximum. Above how many minutes
would TELUS be the better choice?

Answer 1

TELUS is the better choice, because if you were to multiply the minutes above maximum on each, if the number of minutes above is high enough Rogers $0.35 will eventually add up to TELUS’ $0.10 and will become more expensive.
