Complete question :

You have relatives living in the United Kingdom and in France. Suppose that you have purchased a prepaid phone card with a value of $75. Calls to the United Kingdom cost 23¢ per minute, while calls to France cost 21¢ per minute."Suppose you anticipate needing to call the UK for a total of 250 minutes and France for 100 minutes. Will a $75 card cover the cost of this much calling?

Answer:

cell phone card won't be enough.

Explanation:

Cell phone card value = $75

United kingdom = 23cent per minute

France = 21 cent per minute

United Kingdom minutes = 250

France minutes = 100

Total cost :

23 cent = $0.23

21 cent = $0.21

Total :

United Kingdom = 0.23 * 250 = $57.5

France = 0.21 * 100 = $21

$21 + $57.5 = $78.5

$78.5 > $75

Then, it can be concluded that the cell phone card won't be enough.
