Question 1023555: Cafe Star and Tim's Cafe are online cafes. Cafe Star charges 85 cents per minute, with the first 10 minutes free. Tim's charges 60 cents per micute with the first 5 minutes free. Determine the number of minutes at which the two cafes charge the same amount. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The question is, when are the charges equal, so:
.85(x-10)=.6(x-5)
.85x-8.5=.6x-3
.25x=5.5
x=5.5/.25=22 minutes total
Cafe Star=.85(22-10)=$10.20
Tim's=.6(22-5)=$10.20!!!!!!!!!!!!
