eastside insurance offers 2 healthplans.
plan A bobby would have to pay the first $80 of his medical bills plus %40 of the rest.
A(x) = 80 + 0.40x
--------------------------
under plan B bobby would pay the first $90 but only 30% of the rest.
B(x) = 90+0.30x
--------------------------
for what amount of medical bills will plan B save bobby money?
Solve 90+0.30x < 80+0.40x
10 < 0.10x
x > 100
---------------------------------
Assume he has over $90 in bills. she would save with B if she had how many bills???
Comment: That sentence is too confusing.
