Plan B has a fee of $20 plus an additional fee of $0.06 per minute. With this plan, the first 200 minutes are free. After how many minutes would both options cost the same amount?

    Plan A = 50 + 0.05 (x-500)

    Plan b = 20 + 0.06 (x-200)

    set A equal to B

    50 + 0.05 (x-500) = 20 + 0.06 (x-200)

    50 + 0.05x - 25 = 20 + 0.06x - 12

    rearrange like terms on one side.

    50 - 25 - 20 + 12 = 0.06x - 0.05x

    17 = 0.01x

    x = 1700 minutes.
