Bayside Insurance offers two health plan A, Giselle would have to pay the first $100 of her medical bills, plus 25% of the rest. Under plan B, Giselle would pa the first $110, but only 20% of the rest. For what amount of medical bills will plan B save Giselle money? Assume she has over $110 in bills.
\n" ); document.write( "Giselle would save with plan B if she had more than $? in bills.
\n" ); document.write( "(Round to the nearest whole number)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be the amount of the bills.
\n" ); document.write( "Plan A: A(x) = 100 + 0.25x
\n" ); document.write( "Plan B: B(x) = 110 + 0.20x
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "For what amount of medical bills will plan B save Giselle money?
\n" ); document.write( "110 + 0.20x < 100 + 0.25x
\n" ); document.write( "0.05x > 10
\n" ); document.write( "(5/100)x > 10
\n" ); document.write( "x > (100/5)*10
\n" ); document.write( "x > $200
