Question

On Reese’s most recent phone bill bill, 80% of the minutes she used were calling her mother. If she talked to her mother for 348 minuets, how many total minutes did she used?

Answer 1

Reese used 435 minutes in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reese used 80% of her minutes to call her mother, which was 348 minutes. To find the total number of minutes she used, we can set up a proportion:

80% = 348 / x

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

0.8x = 348

Dividing both sides by 0.8 gives:

x = 348 / 0.8

x = 435

Therefore, Reese used a total of 435 minutes.

Answer 2

She used 278.4 minutes
