Answer:
60 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of minutes be represented as x
For Plan A
Plan A charges $35 plus $0.25 per minute for calls.
$35 + $0.25 × x
35 + 0.25x
For Plan B
Plan B charges $20 plus $0.50 per minute for calls.
$20 + $0.50 × x
20 + 0.50x
For what number of minutes do both plans cost the same amount?
This is calculated by equating Plan A to Plan B
Plan A = Plan B
35 + 0.25x = 20 + 0.50x
Collect like terms
35 - 20 = 0.50x - 0.25x
15 = 0.25x
x = 15/0.25
x = 60 minutes.
Hence, the number of minutes that both plans cost the same amount is 60 minutes
