Question

Maria called her sister long distance on Wednesday.

The first 5 minutes cost $3, and each minute after
that costs $0.25. How much did it cost if they talked
for 15 minutes?

Answer 1

It might be around $13.25 or $6.75 maybe...

Answer 2

5.50$

Step-by-step explanation: The first 5 minutes are 3$, and the additional 10 minutes are .25$ a piece. You multiply 10 minutes by .25$ to get 2.5$. Now, you add the 3$ and 2.5$ to get 5.50$.
