In order for the plans to cost the same.
text messages would have to be sent or received
b. If you send or receive an average of 200 text messages each month which plan would you choose and why?​

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

30=20+0.2m

10=0.2m

50=m

So after sending 20 messages the plans would cost the same.

b)

Obviously from the first part that the unlimited plan is cheaper when sending 200 messages, but the costs numerically would be.

Unlimited plan costs $30 while the other plan costs

20+0.2(200)=$60

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.
