Question

You just purchased a cellular phone and are trying to determine to which cell phone company you will give your business. When you contacted the Talks-A-Lot Company, they were offering a monthly plan of $40 for 600 minutes and $0.35 for each minute exceeding the 600 minutes. In the Sunday paper you see an ad for the Chat-Away Company, which offers a monthly plan of $50 for 600 minutes and $0.10 for each minute exceeding the 600 minutes. How many minutes would you have to talk over and above the 600 minutes for the cost to be the same with both companies?

Answer 1

The cost for each cell phone company plan will be the monthly fee, plus the fee for each minute over 600 minutes, times the number of minutes over 600 minutes. Let x = the number of minutes over 600. How would you write the equations for each plan's costs?

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

Look at how I wrote this. For our example,let's use Talks-A-Lot Co.
The cost of..the plan will be the monthly fee plus the fee/min times the no of min.
C = 40 + 0.35 (x)
can you write the equation for the Chat-Away Co?
