Jaden discovers another prepaid phone plan (Plan B) that charges a flat fee of $15 per month, then $.05 per text sent or minute used.
Write an equation for the cost of Plan B.
The cost for m minutes/messages in a month is
B = 15.00 + .05m
The equation for the cost of Plan B can be written as:
Cost = $15 + ($0.05 x Number of texts sent or minutes used)
To write an equation for the cost of Plan B, we need to consider the flat fee of $15 per month and the additional charge of $0.05 per text sent or minute used.
Let's denote the number of texts sent and minutes used as "x".
The equation for the cost of Plan B (C) can be written as:
C = $15 + ($0.05 * x)
This equation takes into account the flat fee of $15 per month and the additional charge of $0.05 per text sent or minute used (multiplied by the number of texts or minutes, represented by "x").
