Answer:

a. 300 minutes.

b. $53

Step-by-step explanation:

make equations from given information.

  • consider each minute as "n"

equation 1 from plan A :

20 + 0.11(n)

equation 2 from plan B :

14 + 0.13(n)

Solve them simultaneously,

14 + 0.13(n) = 20 + 0.11(n)

0.13(n) - 0.11(n) = 20 - 14

0.02(n) = 6

n = 300

insert n = 300 in any of the equation, to find cost.

14 + 0.13(n)

14 + 0.13(300)

$53
