Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has a $23 monthly fee and charges an additional $0.11 for each minute of calls. The second plan has no monthly fee but charges $0.15 for each minute of calls. For how many minutes of calls will the costs of the two plans be equal?

575 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

this is  a systems of equations problem

2 plans, 2 equations

Scenario 1:

$23 is a mandatory fee, 11 cents per minute

x=23+0.11m (x= total cost, m= minutes called)

Scenario 2:

There is no mandatory fee, but there is a higer 15 cents per minute

x=0.15m (y=total cost, m=minutes called)

Set them equal to each other because you want to know when they become equal

23+0.11m=0.15m

23=0.04m

m=575

Plan 1: 65 minutes, Plan 2: 201 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure if this is the answer that you need but here is the math that i did..

Plan 1: $23 + $0.11/min

$0.11 x 65 minutes will give you a total of $7.15 + the inital $23 = $30.15

Plan 2: $0 + $0.15/min

$0.15 × 201 minutes will give you a total of $30.15

I hope this helps!

i think it would be 43 movies that would have to be watched.

step-by-step explanation:

think about it. for the second plan, every month is 8 dollars. 8 x 12= 96. so thats the number for the second plan. now for the first plan, its annual meaning you have to pay 10 dollars every year. so now you have to get an equivalent amount of 86 since 96-10=86. 86 divided by 2 since every movie costs 2$ then you would have to watch 43 movies a year to get the same as the second plan. i really hoped this . have a wonderful day as well!
