Exercise 2
A telecommunication company proposes the following options
Option Monthly fixed amount Price of
minute
A 10000 80
B 6000 120
Let x be the duration in minutes, A(x) and B(x) be the amount payed by a customer when using option A
or B respectively.
1) A customer chose option B and has payed 30000, calculate the number of minutes.
2) Another customer chose option A and consumed 85 minutes, calculate the amount payed by
this customer.
3) For which number of minutes’ option A is more advantageous than option B?
