Problema Solution
A bank offers two checking-account plans. Their Anywhere plan charges 25¢ per check whereas their Acu-checking plan costs $0.60 per month plus 19¢ per check. For what number of checks per month will the Acu-checking plan cost less?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of checks written
cost for Anywhere plan:
0.25x
cost for Acu-checking:
0.19x + 0.60
we want to know for what value of 'x' Acu-checking will cost less:
0.19x + 0.60 < 0.25x
solving, we get:
x > 10
for the Acu-checking plan to cost less, more than 10 checks per month must be written
