a.150

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a cell phone provider offers a plan that cots $30 per month plus $0.20 per text message sent or received.

A comparable plan costs $60 per month but offers unlimited text messaging.

a.If number of text messages sent or received  =150

For I plan

Cost of one text message sent or received per month=$0.20

Cost of plan per month=$30

Costs of 150 text messages sent or received=

Hence, total costs of plan I =$30+$30=$60

But in II plan no charge for text message and cost of plan per month is $60

Hence, the text messages 150 would have to be sent or received in order for the plans to cost the same each month.

b.If number of text messages =50

Then the cost of messages in plan I==$10

Cost of plan I =$30

Total cost of plan I=30+10=$40

But in second plan no charge for text messaging and cost per month is $60.

Therefore, plan I is better than second plan.Because the cost of plan I is less than the cost of second plan per month.

answer: d. $20
