Answer 1

$13.10 represents the rate of change

Explanation:

13.1 is the only value in the equation with a variable (g). There is an additional $13.10 charge for every gigabyte used over the limit, and this is the rate of change.

For example, if 5 gigabytes were used over the limit, the charge would be 13.1(5) or $65.50
