Question

A cell phone company charges each customer a base rate of $15.00 per month for its services. The company also charges each customer $0.02 per minute used. Which algebraic expression represents each customer's monthly charge for m minutes?

Answer 1

the answer will be >15+0.02m

Answer 2

`0.02m+15`

Explanation:

Let m represent the number of minutes.

We have been given that the cell phone company charges $0.02 per minute used, so the cost of using m minutes would be
`0.02m`.

The company also charges each customer a base rate of $15.00 per month for its services. So total cost of using m minutes would be
`0.02m+15`.

Therefore, the algebraic expression
`0.02m+15` represents each customer's monthly charge for m minutes.
