First service plan has monthly fee 12 dollars and additional charge 0.12 dollars for each minute
Second service plan has monthly fee 16 dollars and additional charge 0.08 dollars for each minute
According to the question, cost of two call services should be equal
Let number of minutes be m
Thus, we have:
12 + 0.12 m = 16 + 0.08 m
4 = 0.04 m
4 = 4 m 100
m = 100 m i n u t e s
