Question

Verizon charges $200 to start up a cell phone plan. then there is a $50 charge each month. what is the total cost for .x months

Answer 1

200 + 50x

Explanation:

depending on what x is, you multiply x by 50 and add 200, since 200 is the start up fee and the constant. the 50 dollars per month is a variable, since the more months you own the plan, the more money it would cost.
