Hi there!
What have you tried so far

anonymous · Answer

Hey! sorry it has taken forever to load the page! but honestly I looked at the equation and realized it's been a while and I completely forgot where to start with all the info =o

dan815 · Answer

Yes os is not working well for me too, but I ll get you started so :
Company A charges 
93$
Company B charges
65$+(0.8*m)$,  for every m we have an additional 0.8 % cost

dan815 · Answer

Here is a graph to help you visualize,
suppose
cost1=cost of company A
cost2=cost of company B

cost1=93
cost2=65+0.8m

we can graph these both on the same graph to see it's behavior
