Question

I need help with this question, one cell phone plan is costs 29.94 per month plus 0.10 for each text message sent, Another plan costs 65.98 per two months plus 0.05 for each text message sent. For what number of text messages will the monthly bill for both plans be the same?

Answer 1

.

Explanation:

Answer 2

61 text messages

Explanation:

Plan A:

29.94 + 0.10m

Plan B:

65.98 per two months

Per month = 65.98 / 2

= 32.99

32.99 + 0.05m

Where, m = number of text messages

Equate both expressions

29.94 + 0.10m = 32.99 + 0.05m

29.94 - 32.99 = 0.05m - 0.10m

-3.05 = -0.05m

Divide both sides by -0.05

m = -3.05 / -0.05

= 61

m = 61 text messages
