Answer 9

Hi! Let us say the number of text messages (on each plan) that would cost same for both plans be x.

Therefore, cost due to the first plan would be:

35(monthly payment irrespective of number of texts) + 0.10 * x (for the number of texts)

= 35+ 0.10*x

Now cost due to second plan would be

=18 + 0.30*x

It is given that these two costs are equal

35+0.10x = 18 + 0.30x

Therefore

0.20x = 35-18 = 17

(2/10) x = 17;

Therefore x = 17*10/2 = 17*5 = 85

Therefore, if u send 85 messages on each plan, both plans would cost the same
