Question

For his phone service, Alonzo pays a monthly fee of

$18
, and he pays an additional
$0.05
per minute of use. The least he has been charged in a month is
$75.95
.
What are the possible numbers of minutes he has used his phone in a month?
Use
m
for the number of minutes, and solve your inequality for
m

Answer 1

I cannot solve the equation but I do know it is an 18 dollar monthly fee.

Answer 2

this would be your equation (method of solving for number of minutes):

m= 75.95- 0.05(m)
f= $18 monthly fee
m= number of minutes used

explanation of above equation:
number of minutes equals, the total amount, subtract the monthly fee. then take the total of that equation and divide it by 0.05, to get the number of minutes (m).
