A cell phone company offers two different monthly text-messaging plans as shown in the table below. For what number of text messages will both plans cost the same for one month?

messaging plan\monthly fee\fee per message
Plan A $35.00 $0.10
Plan B $18.00 $0.30
A. 55 messages
B. 85 messages
C. 110 messages
D. 140 messages

Answer 1

Plan A: $35, $0.10 Plan B: $18, $0.30
Let the number of messages be m.
$35 + 0.1m = $18 + 0.3m
$35 - $18 = 0.3t - 0.1t
$17 = 0.2t
What is 17 divided by 0.2?
