One cell phone company offers a plan that costs $28.99 and includes unlimited night and weekend minutes. Another company offers a plan that costs $16.99 and charges $0.35 per minute during nights and weekends. For what numbers of night and weekend minutes does the second company's plan cost more than the first company's plan?

plan1 = 29.99

plan2 =19.99 + .35m

plan2 > plan1

19.99 + .35m > 29.99

.35m > 29.99-19.99

.35m > 10

m > 10/.35

m > 28.6 minutes

it will cost more if you exceed 28 minutes
