For how many total minutes of calls per month is Horizon's plan a better deal?
:
H:R=45.99+.06(m-700).....where R= revenue and m = minutes>700
:
S:R=29.99+.35(m-700).....m>700
:
so we want H
:
45.99+.06m-42<29.99+.35m-245
:
-.29m<-219........we have to divide by a negative here so the inequality will reverse
:
m>755......anything over 755 minutes and Horizon will have the better deal
