Question: Ismael is comparing cell phone plans before upgrading his phone. Ameri-Mobile offers a low activation fee, but a high monthly payment. Cell-U-Later offers a lower monthly rate, but the activation fee is higher. Create a possible algebraic expression for both Ameri-Mobile and Cell-U-Later that shows the amount paid after an unknown amount of months have passed. Justify how you created those expressions and identify what each term and factor represents in terms of the cell phone plans.

\(C = a + mt\) I guess, where C is the total cost, a is the activation fee, m is the monthly payment, and t is the time in months. There aren't any actual numbers given so I can't do much else with it.
