Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be the number of calls
company B 2.97 + 0.26 x
company A 0 + 0.29 x
company B = company A
0 + 0.29 x = 2.97 + 0.26 x
0 + 0.29 x = 2.97 + 0.26 x
0 - 2.97 = 0.26 x -0.29 x
-2.97 < -0.03 x
99 = x
x should be 99 calls
