Jonas needs a cell phone. He has a choice between two companies with the following monthly billing policies. Each company’s monthly billing policy has an initial operating fee and charge per text message. Sprint charges $29.95 monthly plus .15 cents per text, AT&T charges $4.95 monthly plus .39 cents per text. Create equations for the two cell phone plans.

Since both companies have a different plan, two equations are created to determine which company Jonas should choose with respect to the number of messages sent.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Sprint = $ 29.95 * X (0.15)

- AT & T = $ 4.95 * X (0.39)

One dollar equals 100 cents, so 0.15 cents equals $ 0.0015 dollars.

- Sprint = $ 29.95 * X (0.0015)

- AT & T = $ 4.95 * X (0.0039)

Si Jonas envía 500 mensajes de texto el valor mensual de cada empresa sería de:

- Sprint = $ 29.95 * 500 (0.0015)  = 22.46 dollar per month.

- AT & T = $ 4.95 * 500 (0.0039)  = 9.65 dollar per month.

The company Jonas should choose is AT&T.

AT&T also charges a little more per number of text messages, but since the phone's value is so low it would take thousands of text messages to compare to Sprint's monthly value.
