$59 is the fixed cost of the phone and that will never change. This means it won't have a variable attached and will simply be added on to the cost

$39 is how much Jonathans will pay per month. This will change based on how many months pass. This will have the variable attached.

This means the formula is:

59 + 39m

Let me know if this made sense!
