If the amount of time spent is lesser than or equal to 250, so the price is $29, so we have the first part of the piecewise equation:


f(x)=29,\text{ x <= 250}

Then, for an amount of time greater than 250, the extra minutes are charged by 0.35 per minute, and this extra cost will add the fixed cost of $29, so the second part of the equation is:


f(x)=29+(x-250)0.35,\text{ x>250}

The option that shows the correct piecewise equation is option A.
