A cable company offers its customers two plans.
Plan A costs $135
per month plus $15
for each premium channel.
Plan B uses the equation C equals 5 p plus 180
to determine the cost, where C represents the total cost and p
represents the number of premium channels.
Question
If a customer wants 5
premium channels, which statement comparing the cost of Plan A and Plan B is true?
Answer options with 4 options
A.
Plan A will cost $5
less than Plan B.
B.
Plan A will cost $10
less than Plan B.
C.
Plan A will cost $5
more than Plan B.
D.
Plan A will cost $10
more than Plan B.
To compare the cost of Plan A and Plan B, we need to calculate the cost for 5 premium channels for each plan.
For Plan A, the cost is $135 + ($15 * 5) = $135 + $75 = $210.
For Plan B, we will use the equation C = 5p + 180. Plugging in p = 5, we get C = 5*5 + 180 = 25 + 180 = $205.
Therefore, Plan A will cost $5 more than Plan B.
The correct answer is C. Plan A will cost $5 more than Plan B.
