Price for the first 2 minutes of call = $0.60

Price for each additional minute = $0.22

The call started from 11:58 AM and ended at 12:14 PM,

The number of minutes spend on the call is given as the difference

in minutes between 12:14 PM and 11:58 Am and that is 16 minutes.

The means the call lasted for 16 minutes

The first two minutes cost $0.6,

The remaining 14 minutes will cost 14 x $0.22 = $3.08

The cost of the call = $0.6 + $3.08 = $3.68

Hence, the answer is $3.68
