Answer:

1312.5 minutes

Explanation:

For her phone service, Lucy pays a monthly fee of $25, and she pays an additional $0.06 per minute of use. The least she has been charged in a month Is $103.72

What are the possible numbers of minutes she has used her phone in a month?

Use m for the number of minutes, and solve your inequality for m.

The term least = ≥ = greater than or equal to

Our inequality equation is given as:

$25 + $0.06 × m ≥ $103.72

25 + 0.06m ≥ 103.72

0.06m ≥ 103.72 - 25

0.06m≥ 78.75

m ≥ 78.75/0.06

m ≥ 1312.5 minutes

The possible number of minutes she used is 1312.5 minutes
