Question 93785: Here is the problem I received on a summer homework packet. I think there is not enough information to answer the question. Here is the question.
Two cell phone companies are promoting cell phone plans. Company A offers a flat fee of $90.00 per month. Comapny B offers a different plan. It will cost $15.00 per month for service .10 per minute. You will need to compare the two plans to decide which plan is better for you.
Sketch both equations on the same x - y plane.
How would you know which plan is better if minutes used or more information is given?
Thanks,
Matt
