Question

Margaret wants to call her friend overseas. There is a connection fee of $2 and a charge of $1.60 per minute. So the cost of the call is

2+1.61 dollars for 1 minutes.
Can she talk for 15 minutes without going over a budget of $25?
O No, she would spend $26.
O Yes, she would spend $24.
O No, she would need $27.20.
O No, she would need $54.

Answer 1

Answer: A. No, she would spend $26.

Explanation:

Let y be the total cost and x be the number of minutes

So the equation is

y = 1.6x + 2

Now put 15 in for x

y= 1.6(15) + 2

y= $26

So the answer is A. No, she would spend $26.
