Answer 1

Answer: $85
`\leq` $65 + ($5)*gg

Explanation:

$85
`\leq` $65 + ($5)*gg

The values are in $/month, but we'll assume 1 month is all we need to answer the question of what it would take to remain below $85/month. The fixed ciost, $65/month, is added to the gigabyte (gg) usage of $5/gg. (I'd prefer gb for gigabyte, but I'll stick with gg).

Together, they should be
`\leq` $85/month, thus we get:

$85
`\leq` $65 + ($5)*gg
