How do I go about solving this problem?

Molly is supposed to call her boyfriend every Thursday night. There are two phone companies she can use: TCC charges $0.15 per minute (no matter how long the call). UFC charges $0.55 for the first minute plus $0.10 for every additional minute. How many times can Molly talk to be charged the same amount by either phone company?
