Question

Ben is calculating his cell phone bill. Text Wireless charges $30.00 a month plus $0.02 for each minute

of conversation. What is the maximum number of minutes Ben can talk if he would like his total cell
phone bill to be less than or equal to $50.00?
PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer 1

Answer: 1,000 minutes is the most Ben can talk if he wants the bill to be equal to $50.00.

Step-by-step explanation: If Ben has $50 and the Text Wireless charges $30, he only has $20 if he wants to keep the bill under or equal to fifty.

Multiply 1,000 x .02 to see that it equals 20 ($20).
