Question

You pay $45 per month for cable TV. Your friend buys a satelliteTV receiver for $99 and pays $36 per month for satellite TV. Your friend claims that the expenses for a year of satellite TV are less than the expenses for cable TV in a year. Write and solve an equation to determine when you and your friend will have paid the same amount for TV services. Is your friend correct? Explain

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

Yes, he is correct because he pays $36 a month with the satellite TV receiver he payed $135 that month.

But if we do 36x12=432+99=531and the cable tv cost 45x12=540 so even when we add the satellite TV receiver price on his ours is still more expensive
