Question

A cell phone company charges $50 for unlimited calls and $0.25 per text message. Another cell phone company charges $0.15 per text message and$70 for unlimited calls. How many text messages would have to be sent for the plans to cost the same amount?

Answer 1

Answer: 1st company text messages = 6

Answer: 2nd company text messages = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The way we figure out how much text messages is by multiplying.

$0.25 * 6 text messages = $1.50

$0.15 * 10 text messages = $1.50

So we see that in order for both companies to have the same amount of plans it should cost the same for both companies.
