First we have to write a general equation for the cost she has been charge so it will be:


y=13+0.06\cdot m

then if she paid 77.68 then we can teplace that and solve for m so:


\begin{gathered} 77.68=13+0.06\cdot m \\ 77.68-13=0.06\cdot m \\ (64.68)/(0.06)=m \\ 1078=m \end{gathered}

so she use exactly 1078 minutes
