Annalise Figueroa · Answer 1

We calculate the total amount that needs to be paid by multiplying the amount per month and the total number of months.

Plan A: Total amount = ($110.42/month) (24 months) = $2650.08

Plan B: Total amount = ($85.47/month) (36 months) = $3076.92

Thus, Linda will pay a lesser amount for Plan A. Also, the amount that can be saved is $426.84.
