150 free minutes, then 13p per minute
150 free texts, then 15p per text
During one month, Jo makes 170 minutes of calls and sends 182 texts.
Work out the total charge for the month.
In details pls.

Answer 1

£23.40 total for month.

Explanation:

£16 for the monthly fee

170 mins - 150 = 20 extra mins = 20 × 13 = 260p or £2.60 for extra mins

182 mins - 150 = 32 extra mins = 32 × 15 = 480p or £4.80 for extra texts

16 + 2.60 + 4.80 = £23.40 total for month.
