Question 442280: Can someone help me with this math problem? I don't even know the steps would need to figure this out.
Bayside insurance offers two health plans. Under plan A, Giselle would have to pay for the first $60 of her medical bills,plus 35% of the rest. Under plan B, Giselle would pay the first $100 but only 25% of the rest. For what amount of medical bills will plan B save Giselle money? Assume she has over $100 in bills.
Giselle would save with plan B if she had more than what in bills?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
lets find when they are equal
60+0.35x=100+0.25x
0.35x-0.25x=100-60
0.1x=40
x=40/0.1
x=$400
Saves money above $400
