Question

Note: Your teacher will grade your response to ensure that you receive proper credit for your answer. The cost of a telephone call is $0.75 + $0.25 times the number of minutes. Write an algebraic expression that models the cost of a telephone call that lasts t minutes.

Answer 1

$0.75 + $0.25t

Explanation:

$0.75 represents the initial cost of the call (which is $0.75).

$0.25t represents the additional cost based on the number of minutes, where $0.25 is multiplied by the number of minutes (t).

Answer 2

0.75+0.25t

because 0.75 is the flat rate of the amount of money it takes to make a call... and 0.25t is how much money it will take based on how long the call us.

t= the number of minutes
