Answer:
Plan A will cost no more than Plan B.
Explanation:
Let's set up the inequality to determine the range of monthly phone use (m) for which Plan A costs no more than Plan B.
For Plan A:
Total cost of Plan A = $35 + $0.06m
For Plan B:
Total cost of Plan B = $40.20 + $0.05m
To find the range of monthly phone use where Plan A is cheaper than Plan B, we need to solve the inequality:
$35 + $0.06m ≤ $40.20 + $0.05m
Let's simplify the inequality:
$0.06m - $0.05m ≤ $40.20 - $35
$0.01m ≤ $5.20
Now, divide both sides of the inequality by $0.01 to solve for m:
m ≤ $5.20 / $0.01
m ≤ 520
Therefore, for monthly phone use (m) up to and including 520 minutes, Plan A will cost no more than Plan B.
