Question

sara compares to phone plans. plan A charges $99 for the phone plus $25 per month. plan B charges $39 for a phone and a $35 per month. at what month will the plans cost the same?

Answer 1

Answer: 6th month

Explanation:

Let the month where the plans cost the same be represented by x.

Plan A charges $99 for the phone plus $25 per month. This can be written as:

= 99 + 25x

Plan B charges $39 for a phone and a $35 per month. This can be written as:

= 39 + 35x

We then equate both equations and this will be:

99 + 25x = 39 + 35x

Collect like terms

99 - 39 = 35x - 25x

60 = 10x

x = 60/10

x = 6

The plan will cost the same in the 6th month.
