Answer provided by our tutors
plan A: 150+0.25(x-150)
plan B: 250+0.2(x-250)
plan A > plan B
150+0.25(x-150) > 250+0.2(x-250)
150+0.25x+0.25(-150) > 250+0.2x-0.2(250)
150+0.25x-37.5 > 250+0.2x-50
112.5+0.25x > 200+0.2x
0.25x-0.2x > 200-112.5
0.05x > 87.5
x > 87.5/0.05
x > 1750
She'll save on plan B if she has over $1750 in medical bills.
