T=number of texts
.
$6.00+$0.10T=$13+$0.05T
$0.05T=$7
T=140
.
Plan E=$6+$0.10(140)=$6+$14.00=$20
Plan F=$13+$0.05(140)=#13+$7.00=$20
.
Both plans provide the same number of texts for $20.
Both plans cost the same for 140 texts.
More texts favor the plan with lower price per text (Plan F).
Fewer texts favor the plan with lower fixed rate (Plan E).
.
Correct answer is A.
