Question

Translate the following statement into an appropriate algebraic statement: The number of text messages sent times $0.15 plus the number of minutes talked times $0.07 less a $2.50 discount will give the total cost for the cell phone bill this month.

A) $0.15t + $0.07m - $2.50 = C

B) t + m = $2.50

C) $0.15m + $0.07t = $2.50

D)$0.15m + $0.07t - $2.50 = C

Answer 1

Actually the answers A since t is for text messages and it costs .15 and m is minutes and costs .07 so we add those two together to he .15t+ .07m then there's a discount of 2.50 so we subtract. So our final equation is .15t + .07m - 2.50 = C
