Question

1. maria signed an 18 - month streaming subscription that costs $12.49 per month. there is an early cancellation fee of $120. maria cancelled her service after 7 months. what is the total cost, including the cancellation fee?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the cost for 7 months

The cost per month is $12.49. For 7 months, the cost is \(12.49\times7\).

$$12.49\times7=(12 + 0.49)\times7=12\times7+0.49\times7=84+3.43 = 87.43$$

Step2: Add the cancellation fee

The cancellation fee is $120. So the total cost \(C\) is the sum of the cost for 7 months and the cancellation fee.

$$C=87.43 + 120$$

$$C = 207.43$$

Answer:

\(207.43\)
