Bayside Insurance offers two health plans. Plan A pays $90 + 40%. Plan B pays $140 + 35%. Giselle would savfe with plan B if she had more than ---in bills.
To determine the amount Giselle would save with plan B, we need to find the threshold at which the cost of plan A becomes greater than the cost of plan B.
Let's denote the amount of bills as "x".
For plan A, the cost is given by $90 + 40% of the bills. So, the cost of plan A is $90 + 0.40x.
For plan B, the cost is given by $140 + 35% of the bills. So, the cost of plan B is $140 + 0.35x.
To find the threshold, we need to set up an equation where the cost of plan A is equal to the cost of plan B:
$90 + 0.40x = $140 + 0.35x.
To solve this equation, we can combine like terms:
0.40x - 0.35x = $140 - $90.
0.05x = $50.
Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.05 to solve for x:
x = $50 / 0.05.
Performing the calculation, we find:
x = $1,000.
Therefore, Giselle would save with plan B if she had more than $1,000 in bills.
