Katherine is considering two new cell phone plans. She doesn't want to spend more for minutes she won't use. One plan allows up to 250 minutes per month for $49, and the other plan allows up to 350 minutes per month for $65. In the last 6 months, she used 1,479 minutes. Use estimating and an exact answer to determine the best cell phone plan for Katherine.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The first plan of $49 will be best plan for her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Katherine used 1479 minutes call in the last 6 months.

So, the average monthly call that Katherine made is [tex]\frac{1479}{6} =246.5[/tex] minutes.

Now, there are two plans for mobile recharge.

One is 250 minutes call time for $49 and the other is 350 minutes call time for $65.

Since 246.5 < 250 and Katherine does not want to spend more for minutes she won't use, then the first plan of $49 will be the best plan for her. (Answer)
