Does t¡Ý 600 mean t > 600 ?
Set the cost equation equal to 82.95 and solve for the number of minutes, t. Then do it again for a cost of 110.95. That will give you the minimum and maximum times that they want.
In the last problem, set the amount of bills equal to X. The the amounts paid under either plan are the same,
180 + 0.35 X = 210 + 0.25 X
This leads to
0.1 X = 30.
Solve for the X for which the plans cost the same. Plan B saves the most money for higher bills.
a cellular phone company offers a contract for which the cost C, in dollars, of t minutes of telephoning is given by C=0.25(t-600) + 43.95, whe it is assumed that t¡Ý 600 minutes. What time will keep costs between $82.95 and $110.95?
For the cost to be between $82.95 and $110.95, the telephoning time must be between minutes and minutes
