Answer:

1.1 gigabytes

Explanation:

Let us represent:

The number of gigabytes = g

Under his cell phone plan, Owen pays a flat cost of $67.50 per month and $4 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $71.90 per month.

The Equation is given as:

$71.90 = $67.50 + $4 × g

71.90 = 67.50 + 4g

71.90 - 67.50 = 4g

4.4 = 4g

x = 4.4/4

x = 1.1 gigabytes

Therefore, the number of gigabytes of data Owen can use while staying within his budget is 1.1 gigabytes
