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 $22.95 per month plus an additional $0.08 per minute. Cell Best has a plan that costs $27.95 per month plus an additional $0.06 per minute. How many minutes can Sasha talk and have the same cost each month?

0.14m = 5.00

22.95 + 0.08m = 27.95 + 0.06m

22.95 + 0.08m = 28.01

27.95 + 0.06m = 23.03

Answer 1

B?

Answer 2

Yes, B is correct — the left side is the Cell Plus cost formula, and the right side is the Cell Best formula. Solve the equation for \(m\) and you can find out how many minutes she can talk for the same cost on either plan.

Answer 3

Thank you

Answer 4

kind of an awkwardly written problem, I think.
