A phone company offers two monthly charge plans. In Plan A, there is no monthly fee, but the customer pays \( 8 \) cents per minute of use. In Plan B, the customer pays a monthly fee of \( \$ 13.50 \) and then an additional \( 5 \) cents per minute of use. For what amounts of monthly phone use will Plan A cost at least as much as Plan B? Use \( m \) for the number of minutes of phone use in a month, and solve your inequality for m.
