Question

Review 2 HW Jack and Jill compare their monthly text plans. Jack's plan cost $9.00 plus $0.30 per text. Jills plan cost $0.60 per text. The equations below show the cost, c for each plan depending on how many texts, t, are sent Jack's Plan: c = 0.30t+9 Jills's Plan: c = 0.60t In one month, Jack and Jill paid the same amout. Enter the number of text messages the each sent.

Jack's plan: c=0.30t+9
Jill's plan: c=0.60t

I one month, Jack and Jill paid the same amount. enter the number of text messages they each sent​

Answer 1

Answer: To solve this problem, we need to set the two equations equal to each other and solve for the number of text messages that were sent by each person. We know that the cost of Jack's plan is c = 0.30t + 9 and the cost of Jill's plan is c = 0.60t. To find the number of text messages they each sent, we can set these two equations equal to each other and solve for t:

0.30t + 9 = 0.60t

0.30t = 0.60t - 9

0.30t = 0.60t - 9

-0.30t = -9

t = 30

Therefore, if Jack and Jill paid the same amount for their text plans, they each sent 30 text messages.
