ou just got a cellular phone for your birthday and are trying to decide on the best cellular phone company. When you contacted the Calls-A-Lot company, they were offering a monthly plan of $40 for 500 minutes and $0.25 for each minute over the 500 minutes.

In the Sunday paper you see an ad for the TalkAway company, which offers a monthly plan of $35 for 500 minutes and $0.30 for each minute over the 500 minutes.

LOOK AT THIS; How many minutes would you have to talk over the 500 minutes for the cost to be the same with both companies? What would be the equal cost?

You need to find the equations for each company and then plug in numbers over 500 to see when they'll equal the same thing
