Question 234357: Please help me solve this word problem:
Cellular phone companies often package their products to make them more attractive to potential users. If you average 356 minutes per month in talk time, which package is the better deal?
Package A includes a free phone and 300 minutes. It will cost 0.12 per minute for each minute over the plan time. Package A has a base rate of 39.95.
Package B has a phone that cost $10 and has 350 minutes of time and 0.08 per minute for each minute over the plan time. Package B has a base rat of $35.95 not including the phone.

----Thank you =)
