My town has two cell phone providers. The provider Don’tTalkMuch charge is $80 per month plus 1 dollar per hour the provider TalkLots charges $20 per month plus 4 dollars per hour how much do you have to use your phone in a month in order for Don’tTalkMuch’s much is a deal to be better for you?

The author have to use his/her phone less than 20 hours in a month in order for Don’tTalkMuch's is a deal to be better than TalkLots's is.

Step-by-step explanation:

Call X is the number of hours that the author uses on monthly basis.

Total bill value if the author uses Don’tTalkMuch service is $80 + $1 X.

Total bill value if the author uses TalkLots service is $20 + $4X

The total fees between 2 providers equal as:

$80 + $1 X = $20 + $4X => 3X = $60 => X = 20

Hence: The author have to use his/her phone less than 20 hours in a month in order for Don’tTalkMuch's is a deal to be better than TalkLots's is.

30.5*10=350$

you have to multiply the number without the decimal point then add it later but if its tenn u must move the place value of the decimal point 1 to the right.
