The difference in the cost of 600 text messages plan

Representing the given data as; Cost to Number of text messages, we have:

[tex]Dial\ Up = \$5 : 100[/tex]

and

[tex]Ring\ Ring= \$8 : 200[/tex]

Multiply the dial-up by 6 to get the cost of 600

[tex]Dial\ Up = \$5 *6 : 100 * 6[/tex]

[tex]Dial\ Up = \$30 : 600[/tex]

So, the cost of 600 text messages is $30 --- for dial-up

Multiply the Ring Ring by 3 to get the cost of 600

[tex]Ring\ Ring= \$8 *3: 200*3[/tex]

[tex]Ring\ Ring= \$24: 600[/tex]

So, the cost of 600 text messages is $24 --- for Ring Ring

The difference (d) is:

[tex]d = \$30 - \$24[/tex]

[tex]d = \$6[/tex]
