Question

There are two home phone plans that Ericka is considering. The first plan charges $35 per month plus $0.18 per minute for long distance. The second

plan charges $45 plus $0.16 per minute for long distance. For what number of minutes will the two plans be the same cost?

Answer 1

500 minutes

Explanation:

0.18x + 35 = 0.16x + 45

0.18x - 0.16x = 45 - 35

O.02x = 10

x = 500
