Question

A cellular phone company offers a package called Statewide 300.  The charge is $34.99 per month, and it includes up to 300 min of statewide calling time.  Minutes over 300 are charged at a rate od $0.29 per minute.  Determine the total charge for using a cell phone for 328 min in one month.

Answer 1

Holy cowsers, Tyronglia!  Here we go!  I'll give you another example.

 

If a car rental company charges $25 per day plus 10 cents per mile for each mile after 50 miles, what is the charge for driving 100 miles in one day?

 

We'll say that the total is going to be T.  The number of miles we will call n.

 

So, T = the initial charge + the number of miles over 50 x the miles over 50

 

T = 25 + (100 - 50)(.10) = 25 + 50(.10) = 25 + 5 = $30 total charge.

 

I hope you can apply this to your problem.  Good luck!
