    Bayside Insurance offers two health plans. Under Plan A, Giselle would have to pay the 1st 170 of her medical bills plus 25% of the rest. Under Plan B, Giselle would pay the 1st 180 but only 20% of the rest. For what amount of medical bills will Plan B save? Giselle money assumes she has over $180 in bills. So under Plan A, she's going to pay 170 + 25% / 170. So that's going to be X -, 170. We want Plan A to cost more because we want Plan B to save her money. So Plan B is going to be 180 + .20 * X -, 180. Now we're going to distribute the .25 X and the .25 to the -170. We're going to distribute the .20 to the X minus the 180. Then it's a matter of combining our like terms. So .2 five X + 127.5 greater than 144 + .20 X getting all the access to one side .05 X getting everything else to the other greater than 16.5 divide by .05. Remember we don't flip the inequality sign because it's a positive number we're dividing by. So we get X greater than 330. So Giselle would save with Plan B if she had more than 330 in bills.
