Let x represent the number of months it will take for the cost of both plans to be the same.

For the first plan, it requires a $80 sign up fee and costs $20 per month. Thus, the cost of using this plan for x months would be

20x + 80

For the second plan, it requires a $70 sign up fee and costs $25 per month. Thus, the cost of using this plan for x months would be

25x + 70

For both costs to be the same, it means that

25x + 70 = 20x + 80

25x - 20x = 80 - 70

5x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

After 2 months, the cost of both plans would be thesame

The cost would be

25 * 2 + 70

= 50 + 70

= 120

The cost would be $1207
