Question

A cell phone company charges a monthly fee of $18 plus five cents for each call. A

customer's total cell phone bill this month is $50.50. Use n to represent the number of
calls.

Answer 1

650 calls

Explanation:

so since you have 18$ per month plus 5 cents per call you would do

18+0.5n(n represent the number of calls)= the total fee of $50.50 cents.

thus,now you need to figure out how much the phone calls were without the monthly fee so you would do:

50.50-18=32.50

so 32.50 is the price of all the phone calls

then you divide 32.50 by 0.05 which equals to 650

meaning that n=650
