Answer:

$26

Explanation:

To find your answer, simply plug in Francesca's time and Phil's time to your cost equation.

Francesca can be represented by the following equation:


c=6.5(2)\\c=13

Phil can be represented by the following equation:


c=6.5(6)\\c=39

As such, Francesca pays $13 and Phil pays $39. Next, since you want to find how much more Phil paid, all you have to do is subtract 13 from 39. That will give you $26.
