Question 441209: Bayside insurance offers two health plans. Under plan A, Giselle would have to pay the first $160 of her medical bills, plus 25% of the rest. Under plan B, Giselle would pay the first $240, but only 20% of the rest, for what amount of medial bills will plan B save Giselle money? Assume she has over $240 in bills

let the bill amount be x
Plan A= 160 + 25.00% of rest
Plan B= 240 + 20.00% of the rest
Plan B < Plan A
240+0.25(x-240)<160+0.25(x-160 )
240+0.20x-60<160+0.25x-40
240-160 -60+40 <0.25x-0.2x
60<0.05 x
1200 < x
X > 1200 for plan B to save money
