Answer:
110 basic plans and 200 standard plans were purchased.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of basic plans.
y is the number of standard plans.
310 new subscribers
This means that [tex]x + y = 310[/tex], and so, [tex]y = 310 - x[/tex]
A cable network offers members a Basic plan for $7.26 per month. For $3.00 more per month. Total paid of $2580.60.
This means that:
[tex]7.26x + 10.26y = 2580.6[/tex]
Since [tex]y = 310 - x[/tex]
[tex]7.26x + 10.26(310 - x) = 2580.6[/tex]
[tex]7.26x + 3180.6 - 10.26x = 2850.6[/tex]
[tex]3x = 330[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{330}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x = 110[/tex]
Then
[tex]y = 310 - x = 310 - 110 = 200[/tex]
110 basic plans and 200 standard plans were purchased.
