Question

Tammy purchased a prepaid phone card for $15. Long distance calls cost 18 cents a minute using this card. Tammy used her card only once to make a long

distance call. If the remaining credit on her card is $6.72, how many minutes did her call last?

Answer 1

46 minutes

Explanation:

Sorry about not answering your question sooner, but here is your answer:

In order to get the answer, we have to subtract the original amount of money on the phone card by the amount left ver after the call:

15 - 6.72 = 8.28

Then, we divide this number by 0.18:

8.28 / 0.18 = 46

So, Tammy's call lasted 46 minutes

Hope this helps :)
