Sam is shopping for a live streaming service so she can watch a new drama series during her free time. she sees that the live streaming service offers a couple of plans for new customers to choose from.

Question

plan 1: 12 months plus the fee for a total of $54.50
plan 2: 6 months plus the fee for a total of $30.20

what is the cost for each month and what is the cost of the fee?

Answer 1

To find the cost for each month, we need to divide the total cost by the number of months in each plan.

For plan 1:
Total cost = $54.50
Number of months = 12
Cost per month = Total cost / Number of months
Cost per month = $54.50 / 12 = $4.54

For plan 2:
Total cost = $30.20
Number of months = 6
Cost per month = Total cost / Number of months
Cost per month = $30.20 / 6 = $5.03

Now, let's find the cost of the fee. To do this, we need to subtract the cost per month from the total cost.

For plan 1:
Fee = Total cost - (Cost per month × Number of months)
Fee = $54.50 - ($4.54 × 12)
Fee = $54.50 - $54.48 = $0.02

For plan 2:
Fee = Total cost - (Cost per month × Number of months)
Fee = $30.20 - ($5.03 × 6)
Fee = $30.20 - $30.18 = $0.02

So, the cost for each month is $4.54 for plan 1 and $5.03 for plan 2. The cost of the fee is $0.02 for both plans.
