Question

A phone call costs $0.65 for the first 3 minutes and $0.15 for each additional minute. If the total charge for the call

was $5.00, how many minutes was the call?

Answer 1

31 Minutes

Explanation:

4.78 = 0.15 + 0.58

0.15m = 4.78 - 0.58

m = 4.78 - 0.58 divided by 0.15 = 28 minutes

So in total we have 28 + 3 = 31 minutes
