Question

Each company’s monthly billing policy has an initial operating fee and charge per text message. Sprint charges $29.95 monthly plus .15 cents per text, AT&T charges $4.95 monthly plus .39 cents per text. Create equations for the two cell phone plans.

Answer 1

For Sprint

Cell phone plan would be;

$29.95 + $0.15n

For At & t

we have;

$4.95 + $0.39n

Explanation:

Okay , here in this question, we are interested in creating equations for the cell phone plans.

Let’s start with Sprint

Sprint charges $29.95 monthly and $0.15 per text message.

Let the number of text messages sent be n

So the value of the cell phone plan will be;

$29.95 + $0.15(n) = $(29.95 + 0.15n)

For the At& t

Let the number of texts sent per month be n

The monthly plan is thus;

$4.95 + $0.39n
