DELTA MATH

Answer 2

2 gigabytes of data

Explanation:

Given

Amount Jason keeps per month = $68.90

Cost of flat per month = $60.50

Balance for data = 68.90-60.50

Balance for data = $8.40

If 1Gigabyte = $4

x = $8.40

Cross multiply

4x = 8.40

x = 8.40/2

x = 2.20

Hence Jason can only use 2 gigabytes of data while staying within his budget
