A bank offers two checking plans. The Anywhere plan charges 25 cents per check. The AccuCheck plan cost $1.14 a month plus 19 cents per check. For what number of checks will the AccuCheck plan cost less than the Anywhere plan?
I am required to choose between the following ranges:
a.) Less than 19 checks
b.) More than 19 checks
c.) 19 or more checks
d.) 19 checks Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = number of checks written
Let = the cost of the plan

Anywhere plan:

Accucheck plan:
(2)

(2)
(2)
(2)
(2)
