Answer: 50 cents

Explanation:

Company charges 8 cents per call and the call in question is 3 minutes. Cost is;

= 3 * 8

= 24 cents

Company however stipulates that a call is 8 cents per minute or a 50​-cent minimum charge per completed​ call, whichever is greater.

50 cents is greater than the per minute total charge of 24 cents so the cost will be 50 cents.
