 Table 2: Looking at smartphones and tablets with a network carriers plan. For example, my dad pays $40 a month for his plan but
he also needs to pay an additional $15 per month until his phone is paid off. So, his total cost for his cellphone per month is $55
before taxes.

Remember: You must factor in the cost of data. You cannot simply live off of Wi-Fi.

NOTE: For this portion of the assignment you do not need to include tax.

Putting it all together. Looking at Table 1 and Table 2 which is the best deal?
