Regan · Answer 1

First we define variables. We have then:D: monthly data. C: total cost.

For Plan A:

C = 5D + 30

D: [5, 8]

We evaluate for D = 8

C = 5 (8) + 30

C = 40 + 30

C = 70 $

For Plan B:

C = 2D + 50

D: [5, 8]

We evaluate for D = 8

C = 2 (8) + 50

C = 16 + 50

C = 66 $

Answer:

the best choice for him is plan B:

C = 2D + 50
