Question

Trevor's dad decided to get him a cell phone for his birthday. Cell Plus has a plan that costs $27.00 per month plus an additional $0.06 per minute. Cell Best has a plan that costs $30.00 per month plus an additional $0.05 per minute. How many minutes can Trevor talk and both cell plans cost the same amount?

600

30

150

300

Answer 1

Solve this as a system of equations like so:

Plan A: y=.06x+27
Plan B: y=.05x+30

Then set the equations equal to each other:

.06x + 27 = .05x + 30.
Solve for X to get number of minutes for same cost.
