Mary purchased a prepaid phone card for $15 . Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Mary used her card only once to make a long distance call. If the remaining credit on her card is $13.38 , how many minutes did her call last?

could you please explain how you got this. (I am really hopeless at math..)

27.
15 - 13.38 = 1.62
1.62/0.06 cents = 27 minutes!

good luck!
