How much would Aubrey have to pay in a month where she used 5 GB over the limit? How much would Aubrey have to pay in a month where she used went over by xx GB?

Answer 1

Answer: $160

35 + 25x

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the equation that'll be used to calculate the amount that'll be paid when there's an over the limit will be:

= 35 + (25 × x)

= 35 + 25x

where x = data uses over the limit.

Since Aubrey used 5 GB over the limit, the amount that'll be paid will be:

= 35 + 25x

= 35 + 25(5)

= 35 + 125

= $160
