I would find out how many days it would take for them become equal, then the next day it would be more expensive

radar · Answer

Let x = number of days that both plans would cost the same (equal)

First do The Super Plan:  Cost would be, $100+$5x

Now do the Best Deal Plan:  Cost would be, $150 +$3x

radar · Answer

I am going to drop the $ sign

100x+5x=150+3x  Setting the two plans to equal each other then solve for X

radar · Answer

redo 100+5x=150+3x         NO 100x lol
  
2x=50    then x=25     25 days they are equal, 26 days The Best Deal becomes the best 
deal.
