They will both have paid the same amount after 4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that they will pay the same amount after x months

∵ Billy pays $30 for his new phone

∵ He only pays $12.50 each month

→ Find how much he will pay in x month

∴ He will pay → 30 + 12.50x

∵ Annie got her new phone for free

∵ She only pays $20 a month

→ Find how much she will pay in x month

∴ She will pay → 20x

∵ They will pay the same amount

→ Equate their expressions above

∴ 20x = 30 + 12.50x

→ Subtract 12.50x from both sides

∵ 20x - 12.50x = 30 + 12.50x - 12.50x

∴ 7.50x = 30

→ Divide both sides by 7.50

∴ x = 4

∴ They will both have paid the same amount after 4 months

the answer is c.
