Question

On-the-Go Phone Company has two monthly plans for their customers. The EZ Pay Plan costs $0.15 per minute. The 40 to Go Plan costs $40 per month plus $0.05 per minute. Which plan should you choose if you want only 200 minutes per month? Why? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

The EZ Pay Plan because it would cost less than the 40 to Go Plan.

Explanation:

You will have to calculate the amount that you would pay with each monthly plan if you have 200 minutes per month.

-EZ Pay Plan:

$0.15*200=$30

-40 to Go Plan:

$40+($0.05*200)=$40+$10=$50

According to this, the answer is that if you only want 200 minutes per month, you should choose the EZ Pay Plan because it would cost $30 which is less than the 40 to Go Plan that would cost $50.
