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.

Answer 1

make up some numbers
say America Mobile charges $100 activation and $30 a month
Cell U Later $140 activation but only $20 a month
you can make up your own
then if say x is the number of months after you get the plan, the cost of AM will be
100+30x
whereas the cost of CUL is 140+20x
