document.write( "Question 241888: Bayside insurance offers two health plans. Under plan A, Giselle would have to pay the first $200 of her medical bills, plus 25% of the rest. Under plan, Giselle would pay the first $240, but only 20% of the rest. For what amount of medical bills will plan B, save Giselle money? Assume she has over $240 in bulls.\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to set up a system of equations to solve this. Basically, this means that you need at least 2 equations and then you find the value that makes both of the equations true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, Plan A: What Gisselle pays = 200+.25(the rest of the bills)
\n" ); document.write( "so you could write this as y=200+.25x or if you want to put it into slope intercept form, then y=.25x+200.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plan B's equation could be found similarly and is y=.20x+240\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since y=.25x+200 and y=.20x+240, then you can set them equal to each other and you get .25x+200=.20x+240. Then you just solve.
\n" ); document.write( ".05x=40
\n" ); document.write( "x=800
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, when x=800, then you pay the same under both plans.
\n" ); document.write( "Giselle would save with plan B if she had more than $800 in bills!\r
