Jayden's parents are buying him a cell phone. His parents told him that they could budget
only $1,000 this year for his cell phone and calling plan. Jayden wants to get the brand-new
iPhone and found three wireless companies that carry that phone. The companies each
have different plans that include unlimited talk, text, and data.
T-mobile charges $180 for the iPhone and $80 per month for the calling plan.
Verizon charges $195 for the iPhone and $70 per month for the calling plan.
AT&T charges the most for the iPhone at $270, but the calling plan is only $60 per
month.
Which plan can Jayden's parents afford with a budget of $1,000? Write a summary for
Jayden to give to his parents to explain his choice. Make sure you show your calculations
and explain what they mean.
