    Let x be the number of minutes Peg and Larry used their phones. So their costs can be written as:

    Cost of Peg's Phone usage = 25 + 0.25x

    Cost of Larry's Phone usage = 35 + 0.20x

    We are to find when the Peg's phone will be more than Larry's phone. We can set up the inequality as:

    25 + 0.25x > 35 + 0.20x

    Re-arranging the inequality

    0.25x - 0.20x > 35 - 25

    0.05x > 10

    x > 10/0.05

    x > 200

    Thus, Pag's phone will cost more if the number of minutes of phone usage is more than 200
