Question

Ethan buys a new phone. It cost 75$. He will pay for this on his 1st bill.

His phone plan charges 0.06 dollars per minute on the phone.
'He has $90 to spend on his 1st bill. How long can he be on his phone to not go over his budget?

Answer 1

x = 250 minutes

Explanation:

The equation for this problem can be set up as follows-

Y = 0.06x+75

y = total phone bill

x= number of minutes on his phone

If Ethan can spend a total of $90 maximum, then y = 90

90 = 0.06x +75 solve for X to determine how many minutes he can be on his phone to reach a $90 total.

x = 250 minutes

Answer 2

250 minutes

Explanation:

90-75=15

15/0.06=250
