Company A - 0.35cents plus 0.3cents per minute
Company B - 0.45cents plus 0.2cents per minute


Respuesta :

company A- 0.35cents plus 0.3cents per minute.

Answer: The length of phone call is 1 minute that would cost the same for both the companies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Company A - 0.35cents plus 0.3cents per minute

Company B - 0.45cents plus 0.2cents per minute

Let the number of minute be x.

So, our equation for company A would be

[tex]0.35+0.3x[/tex]

our equation for company B would be

[tex]0.45+0.2x[/tex]

According to question, length of phone call that would cost the same.

so, our equation becomes

[tex]0.35+0.3x=0.45+0.2x\\\\0.3x-0.2x=0.45-0.35\\\\0.1x=0.10\\\\x=\dfrac{0.10}{0.1}\\\\x=1[/tex]

Hence, the length of phone call is 1 minute that would cost the same for both the companies.
