You want to add a tablet to a current cell phone plan and you are comparing 2 different companies. Horizon Wireless charges a monthly usage fee of $9 plus $4.50 per gigabyte of data used. G-Mobile charges a monthly usage fee of $16 plus $1.00 per gigabyte of data used. Find the number of gigabytes used for which the charges for both companies would be the same.

Let G be the answer we are looking for......and we have

 

9 + 4.50G  = 16 + 1G       subtract 1G, 9   from both sides

 

3.50G  = 7            divide both sides by 3.50

 

G  = 7/3.50   = 2

 

So......  2 Gigabytes equalizes the cost of both plans
