Question

Alexis paid $50 to active her cell phone plus a service fee of $20 per month.She used the phone for 3 months. How much has she paid for phone service

Answer 1

Explanation:

She paid $50 to activate one time and pays $20/ month

20.00x3=60.00

60.00+50.00=110.00

Answer 2

Alexis paid $110 for phone service.

Explanation:

Well $50 is like a flat fee; you just pay it and you're done with it.

Meanwhile the $20 is not because it is per month, meaning for every month Alexis using her phone, she has to pay $20. Alexis uses her phone for 3 months.

So she paid $20 three times: 20×3

20×3=60

And then you add the 60 to the flat fee, which is $50.

$60+$50=$110

Alexis paid $110 for phone service.
