Question

In an average month, Jaden sends 200 texts and talks for 100 minutes. Give the cost for plan A and for plan B. Then tell which plan will cost Jaden the least amount of

money.
Plan A
Jaden has a prepaid phone plan (Plan A) that charges 15 cents for each text sent and 10 cents per minute for calls.
Plan B
Jaden discovers another prepaid phone plan (Plan B) that charges a flat fee of $15 per month, then $.05 per text sent or minute used.

Answer 1

Plan B

Explanation:

Let's calculate the amount required for each plan

Plan A

• 0.15*200 + 0.10*100 = $40

Plan B

• 15 + 200*0.05 + 100*0.05 = $30

As we see Plan B costs less
