Question

Two competing internet companies have recently restructured their payment plans. Quick Net requires a $10 activation fee and charges $55 per month for their basic plan. Speedy Net requires no activation fee and charges $57 per month for their basic plan. When will the two plans be equal in cost?

Answer 1

They will be at equal cost at 5 months

Explanation:

Answer 2

55x + 10 = 57x....where x = number of months
10 = 57x - 55x
10 = 2x
10/2 = x
5 = x.....they will cost the same at 5 months...they will each cost $ 285 at 5 months
