S.O.E. Phone Plans
Create 2 equations that can be used to calculate the total price of the phone plan (y = cost of the phone + number of min * cost per minute)
Use the sliders to model each equation.
Your goal is to answer these questions:
How many minutes do you need to use for both plans to cost the same? AND
How much are both plans when they cost the same price?
Phone plan A: Phone costs $40 and the charge is $2 per minute
Phone plan B: Phone costs $10 and the charge is $3 per minute
Phone plan C: Phone costs $20 and the charge is $2 per minute
Phone plan D: Phone costs $40 and the charge is $1 per minute
Phone plan E: Phone costs $50 and the charge is $0.50 per minute
Phone plan F: Phone is free and the charge is $3 per minute
Phone plan G: Phone costs $15 and the charge is $4 per minute
Phone plan H: Phone costs $25 and the charge is $4 per minute
Phone plan I: Phone costs $50 and the charge is $3 per minute
Phone plan J: Phone costs $100 and the charge is $3 per minute, and it comes with a $50 off rebate!
