Answer:

For minutes less than 50, Verizon's monthly plan will be less expensive then T mobiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the minutes used be [tex]x[/tex].

Given:

Cost per minute by Verizon = $ 0.50

Total cost for [tex]x[/tex] minutes by Verizon = [tex]0.5x[/tex]

Cost per minute by T mobile = $ 0.10

Cost for [tex]x[/tex] minutes by T mobile = [tex]0.1x[/tex]

Fixed cost charged by T mobile = $ 20

Therefore, the total cost charged by T mobile = [tex]0.1x+20[/tex]

Now, for Verizon cost to be less than T mobile's cost,

[tex]0.5x<0.1x+20\\0.5x-0.1x<20\\0.4x<20\\x<\frac{20}{0.4}\\x<50[/tex]

Therefore, for [tex]x<50[/tex], Verizon's monthly plan will be less than that of T mobile's plan.

So, for up to 50 minutes, Verizon's plan is cheaper than T mobile's plan.
