Question

IM DESPERATE FOR AN ANSWER Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has an  $18  monthly fee and charges an additional  $0.13  for each minute of calls. The second plan has no monthly fee but charges  $0.17  for each minute of calls. For how many minutes of calls will the costs of the two plans be equal?​

Answer 1

Answer:

450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

1st plan

18 + 0.13x = y

2nd plan

0.17x = y

x is minute of calls

y is the total price customers must pay

both of them equal as y = y

y = y

18 + 0.13x = 0.17x

18 = 0.17x - 0.13x

18 = 0.04x

x = 18/0.04

x = 450 minutes

can you figure how much they should pay?
