Two years of local Internet service cost $685 including the installation fee of $85. What is the monthly fee?

Answer 1

Hello Sophi,

First, remove the $85 installation fee from the $685. That will give you the cost of TWO years of local internet service: $685 - $85 = $600.

Now, to find the MONTHLY fee, keep in mind that there are 12 months in one year. So TWO YEARS of internet service means... 2 x 12 = 24 months of internet service.

Divide $600 by 24 to find the cost of ONE month of internet service: 600/24 = 25.

Answer: the monthly fee is $25
