Respuesta :

Answer:

DIRECTV:

($30)(6) + ($75)(18) = $1530

Current:

($50)(24) + $1200

Do not switch providers.

Explanation:

You should not switch providers because, in the long run, you will be paying less money with your current provider than with DIRECTV. Emotionally, you may want to purchase DIRECTV's contract because of the drawing; however, there is a low probability that you would actually be chosen, so it is not worth the increase in payments.
