Question

For one year of internet service, the total cost is $303, which includes the setup fee of $15. What is the monthly fee?

a) $23
b) $25
c) $30
d) $35

Answer 1

25

Step-by-step explanation:

303-15=288

288/12=24

Round up to 25

Answer 2

The monthly fee for internet service, after deducting the setup fee, would be $24. However, as this answer isn't an option, it suggests the presence of a rounding error or issue in the question's setup. The closest available option is $25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the calculation of the monthly fee for internet service after accounting for the setup fee. The total annual cost for the service is $303, which includes a one-time setup fee of $15. To find the monthly fee, we first subtract the setup fee from the total annual cost, which results in $303 - $15 = $288.

Then, we divide $288 by 12 months to get the monthly fee. Therefore, the monthly fee is $288 / 12 = $24 per month. However, this answer is not one of the options provided. The nearest possible choice is option b) $25, which suggests a rounding or a slight discrepancy in the provided options or the setup for this problem.
