Algebra to solve ...

In order to know how much would it Giselle in both plans for an equation of costs ... Have the medical X ...

Plan A =

$ 100 + .25 (X-100)

Plan B =

$ 125 + .20 (X - 125)

Now we also find that the balance

$ 100 + .25 (X - 100) = 125 + .2 (X - 125)

100 + .25 X - 25 = 125 + .2 x - 25

75 + .25 X = 100 + .2 x
05 x = 25
X = 25/.05
X = 500

Well, to solve the 501 and 499

100 + .25 (401) = 200.25 (Plan A)
125 + .2 (376) = 200.2

To save cost more than $ 500 for money as part of Plan B

(In 499.99, and part of a plan to save money)
