Answer:

Total minutes = 47 Minutes

Explanation:

A telephone company in germany charges 0.12 euro per minute to call the US after a connection fee of 1.50 euro

Expressing the statement in mathematical terms;

Cost = 0.12x + 1.5 where x represens minutes

if the cost of the call was 7.14 euro, total minutes = ?

7.14 = 0.12x + 1.5

7.14 - 1.5 = 0.12x

5.64 = 0.12x

x = 5.64 / 0.12 = 47

Total minutes = 47 Minutes
