Answer 1

37 minutes

Explanation:

We start by finding the difference between the original amount and what is left

Mathematically, that will be;

20-13.34 = 6.66

To

cents that will be 6.66 * 100 = 666 cents

We now divide by the amount per minute

The amount per minute is 18 cents

Thus, the number of minutes will

be 666/18 = 37
