1. Determine the total cost for Plan A as a function of xx.
2. Determine the total cost for Plan B as a function of xx.

STEP 3

Express the total cost for Plan A, f(x)f(x), as the sum of the annual membership fee and 40% of the merchandise cost.
f(x)=90+0.40x f(x) = 90 + 0.40x

STEP 4

Express the total cost for Plan B, g(x)g(x), as the sum of the annual membership fee and 60% of the merchandise cost.
