Question

Your cell phone bill just arrived. Your plan only allows you to send and receive 130 texts per month, but you sent and received 268 texts. Your plan charges you $0.05 per text sent on your plan, and then $0.25 for each text you send over your plan limit. How much money do you have to pay for the extra texts that you sent and received? What is your total bill?

Answer 1

$34.5

Explanation:

1. 268 - 130 = 138

2. 138 x .25 = 34.5

Answer 2

268 - 130 = 138
138 x .25 = 34.50 Extra Pay
130 x .05 = 6.50
34.50 + 6.50 = $41.00 Total Bill
