Troy has already spent 2 minutes on the phone, and he expect to spend 3 more minutes with every phone call he routes. In all How many phone calls dose troy have to route to spend a total of 32 minutes on the phone?

10 phone called. Since he has already spent 2 minutes in the phone, we can subtract 2 from 32 making it 30. He spends 3 minutes per call, so if you divide 30/3, you get 10.

To check. 3 mins • 10 calls is 30 mins total. Adding the 2 that he already spent, that’s 32 minutes.
