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 $23.95 per month plus an additional $0.05 per minute. Cell Best has a plan that costs $28.95 per month plus an additional $0.03 per minute. How many minutes can Sasha talk and have the same cost each month?

0.08m = 5.00

23.95 + 0.05m = 28.98

28.95 + 0.03m = 24.00

23.95 + 0.05m = 28.95 + 0.03m

Answer 1

23.95 + 0.05m = 28.95 + 0.03m

Answer 2

I'm guessing it would be the last one because it wants you to compare the two? >_< I don't know it's a bit confusing because it gives you two different problems 23.95+0.05m=x
and 28.95+0.03m=x
But I'm thinking it's asking how many minutes would she need to talk on Cell plus, to get the same cost per month as Cell Best, sooo
23.95+0.05m= 28.98 seems like the best answer

Answer 3

last one O:

Answer 4

Thanks both of you

Answer 5

you gonna set 2 different equations in order to find the intersection

Answer 6

Last one what?

Answer 7

Ohh get rid of the first sentence in mine, i thought it was the last one at first until I thought about it more

Answer 8

once you find where then mean the x will be the amount of minutes one has to talk so that the two plan could cost the same

Answer 9

meet* not mean Dx

Answer 10

So whats the answer lol @Nemo1223

Answer 11

23.95 + 0.05m = 28.95 + 0.03m
put in it a graphing calculator and find intersection to find for m

Answer 12

Okay so its d
