Northeast Telephone Company offers two billing plans for local calls.
Plan 1: $25 per month for unlimited calls
Plan 2: $13 per month plus $0.06 per call
Use an inequality to find the number of monthly calls for which plan 1 is more economical than plan 2.
-------------------------------
Cost1 = 25
Cost2 = 13 + 0.06x
-----------------------
Inequality:
cost1 < Cost2
---
25 < 13 + 0.06x
12 < 0.06x
x > 200 calls in a month
