Answer 1

------------------------------------------------------------------
First Call - 9 mins
------------------------------------------------------------------
First minute = $1.20
8 additional minutes = $0.65 x 8 = $5.20

------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Call - 12 mins
------------------------------------------------------------------
First minute = $1.20
11 additional minutes = $0.65 x 11 = $7.15

------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Charge
------------------------------------------------------------------
$5.20 + $7.15 = $12.25

Answer: She was charged $12.25
