-
.5 + .05x = .2 + .08x
.3 = .03x
10 = x
Phone card A & B each costs $1.00 at 10 minutes
.3 = .03x
10 = x
Phone card A & B each costs $1.00 at 10 minutes
-
Card A --> 0.5 + 0.05m
Card B --> 0.2 + 0.08m
so, 0.5 + 0.05m = 0.2 + 0.08m
=> 0.03m = 0.3
so, m = 0.3/0.03 = 10.............i.e. 10 minutes and costs $1.00

$0.05x + $0.50 = $0.08x + $0.20
x is minutes, to find the answer, find x
