Question

Else purchased a prepaid phone card for $15. Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Elsa used her card only once to make a long distance

cal. If the remaining credit on her card is $13.50, how many minutes did her call last?

Answer 1

25 minutes

Explanation:

First you subtract the original amount on the card from the remaining amount left.

So you can get the amount of money spent on that call.

$15 - $13.50 = $1.50

Then you divide that number by how much it cost per minute.

$1.50 ÷ 6 = 0.25

Then you get your answer!

She was on the phone for 25 minutes
