Question

easton has a cell phone plan that charges $45 per month and includes 200 international minutes, but then charges $6 per minute for every minute used over the included minutes. how much would easton have to pay in a month if he used 30 minutes over the limit? how much would easton have to pay in a month if he went over by x minutes?
answer attempt 1 out of 2
total cost when over by 30 minutes:
total cost when over by x minutes:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate cost for 30 over minutes

The cost per over minute is $6, so for 30 minutes, the over cost is $6 * 30 = $180.

Step2: Add base cost for 30 over minutes

The base monthly cost is $45, so total cost is $45 + $180 = $225.

Step3: General formula for x over minutes

The over cost for x minutes is $6x, and adding the base cost $45, the total cost is $45 + $6x.

Answer:

Total cost when over by 30 minutes: $225
Total cost when over by \( x \) minutes: \( 45 + 6x \) dollars
