Question

Which equation would you use to solve the following word problem?

Sasha's mom decided to get her a cell phone for her birthday. Cell Plus has a plan that costs $24.95 per month plus an additional $0.06 per minute. Cell Best has a plan that costs $30.95 per month plus an additional $0.05 per minute. How many minutes can Sasha talk and have the same cost each month?

A. 24.95 + 0.06m = 30.95 + 0.05m

B. 0.11m = 6.00

C. 24.95 + 0.06m = 31.00

D. 30.95 + 0.05m = 25.01

Answer 1

The answer would be A. Since you want cost to be the same, and to find the number of minutes, the variable would be m(for number of minutes) and the cost of both plans would be equated to each other.

But one thing why would sasha be using 2 plans at the same time, thats kinda retarded.
