Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has a $25 monthly fee and charges an additional $0.10 for each minute of calls. The second plan has no monthly fee but charges $0.14 for each minute of calls. For how many minutes of calls will the costs of the two plans be equal?

Answer

Let m be the number of minutes of calls. The cost of the first plan is given by the equation: 25 + 0.10m. The cost of the second plan is given by the equation: 0.14m. To find when the costs are equal, set the equations equal to each other:

25 + 0.10m = 0.14m

Subtract 0.10m from both sides:

25 = 0.04m

Divide both sides by 0.04:

m = 625

Therefore, the costs of the two plans will be equal at 625 minutes.
