Work out the total charge for the month

Answer 1

The correct answer is - 625.36.

Explanation:

Given:

Fixed mothly plan - 616

free minutes - 150

Used minutes - 170

Free text - 150

Used text - 182

Charging amount over free limit - 18p

Solution:

Number of minutes over the limit - 170 - 150 = 20

Number of text over the limit - 182 - 150 = 32

So the extra amount that will be add to the monthly charge would be -

(20*0.18) +(32*0.18)

and the total charge of the month would be -

= 616+(20*0.18) +(32*0.18)

= 616+3.60+5.76

= 625.36

Thus, the correct answer would be - 625.36
