Answer:

11 minutes?

Explanation:

A five-minute difference in the two calls results in an increase of

10.86 - 5.91 = $4.95

That means the company charges $4.95 / 5 = $.99 a minute.

The original five-minute call costs $4.95 plus another $.96. That's how they got $5.91 for its charge.

Thus the equation for this situation is (using C for cost and m for minutes)

C = .99m + .96

Now plug 12 in for C and get

12 = .99m + .96

m = 11.15 minutes...probably rounded to 11 minutes...
