2) The customer wants to know the best plan knowing that he uses the phone several times a day , he estimates that he uses the phone more than 2000 minutes a month
\n" ); document.write( "3)
\n" ); document.write( "Each plan has the following costs:
\n" ); document.write( "Plan A: 700 minutes for $100, with each additional minute costing .45.
\n" ); document.write( "A(x) = 100 + 0.45(x-700)
\n" ); document.write( "A(2000) = 100 + 0.45*1300 = $685
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Plan B:1400 minutes for $120, and each additional minute costing .40
\n" ); document.write( "B(x) = 120 + 0.40(x-1400)
\n" ); document.write( "B(2000) = 120 + 0.40*600 = $360
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Plan B is better at 2000 minutes
