its would be 26$ because 1250 divided by 25$ is 50 and 1300 divided by 50 is 26$

Answer:

$26.

Explanation:

We have been given that John's cell phone gives him 1250 minutes for $25. We are asked to find John's bill for 1300 minutes.

First of all, we will find charges per minute by dividing $25 by 1250 as:


\text{Charge per minute}=(\$25)/(1250)


\text{Charge per minute}=\$0.02

Now, we will multiply 1300 by $0.02 to find John's bill.


\text{John's bill}=\$0.02* 1300


\text{John's bill}=\$26

Therefore, John's company will charge him $26 for 1300 minutes.
