You can put this solution on YOUR website!
These are common word problems here.
The details are given and you have to decide which plan is better after so many minutes of use.
c(p)=p
c(m)=mx+b
p is monthly cost of prepaid plan
b is monthly cost of monthly plan
x is number of minutes per month
m is cost per minute
c(m) is cost monthly with minutes
c(p) is cost of monthly plan
