<PRE><B>Question 71531</B>

Let x= number of minutes of local calls when cost of plans are the same

Cost of Plan 1=$27.95+.12x
Cost of Plan 2=$12.95+.32x

Need to find x when Cost of Plan 1=Cost of Plan 2.  So, our equation to solve:

$27.95+.12x=$12.95+.32x  subtract $12.95 and.12x from both sides

$27.95-$12.95+.12x-.12x=$12.95-$12.95+.32x-.12x  collect like terms

$15.00=.20x  divide both sides by .20

x=75 minutes------------------------------when costs are the same

ck

27.95+.12(75)=12.95+.32(75)
27.95+9.00=12.95+24.00

36.95=36.95

Hope this helps----ptaylor
