Respuesta :

Answer:

    m = 20 minutes

Explanation:

given,

The Wayside Hotel charges its guests $1 plus $0.80 per minute for long distance calls.

The Blue Sky Hotel charges its guests $2 plus $0.75 per minute for long distance calls.

let the distance be m

wayside hostel charge = $1 + 0.8 m

Blue Sky Hotel charges = $2 + 0.75 m

the length of call for which the company will charge same is

        $1 + 0.8 m = $2 + 0.75 m

              0.05 m = $2 - $1

              0.05 m = $1

                      m = 20 minutes

hence, the length of call for which the charge will be same is equal to 20 minutes.
