Beni is shopping for a new cell phone plan. company a charges$72.25for a new phone and $85.50 per month. company b charges $151.25 for a new phone and $65.75per month.

Missing questions and subsequent solutions:
(a) Write an equation for company A for cost, C, number of months, n, that Beni will pay for the phone.

Solution:
For company A:
C = 72.25 + 85.50n

(b) Write an eqyation for company B for cost, C, and number of months, n, that Bei will pay for the phone.

Solution:
For company B:
C = 151.25 + 65.75n

(c) Write an inequality when the cost from company A is better than cost from company B.

Solution:
72.25 + 85.50n ≤ 151.25 + 65.75n
(85.50-65.75)n ≤ (151.25 - 72.25)
19.75 n ≤ 79
n ≤ 4

(d) Value of n for which cost from the two companies will be the same.

Solution:
If cost for companies A and B are the same, then
72.25 + 85.50n = 151.25 + 65.75n
(85.5 - 65.75)n = 151.25 - 72.25
19.75n = 79
 n = 79/19.75 = 4 months

After 4 months,
C = 72.25 + 85.5*4 = $414.25

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
