Question 598255: I have a word problem...it says, Suppose you are considering signing up for a cell phone service which offers two calling plans, The Lifeline Plan: Monthly access fee of $26.95 and $0.45 per minute for Airtime. The Extended Plan: Monthly access fee: $26.95 and $0.24 per minute for Airtime &**100 FREE minutes per month.
It now says, Write the "BREAK EVEN" equation. That is, for how many minutes wil the cost of the Lifeline plan equal the cost of the Extended plan? Solve the equation.

Since both of the "fixed fee" parts of the two plans are equal, the only break even when 0 minutes have been used.
