Question

easton has a cell phone plan that charges $40 per month and includes 400 international minutes, but then charges $7 per minute for every minute used over the included minutes. how much would easton have to pay in a month if he used 49 minutes over the limit? how much would easton have to pay in a month if he went over by x minutes? answer attempt 2 out of 2 total cost when over by 49 minutes: total cost when over by x minutes:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate cost for 49 minutes over limit

The base cost is $40. The cost for 49 extra minutes is \(49\times7\).

$$49\times7 = 343$$

Total cost \(C_1=40 + 343\)

$$C_1=383$$

Step2: Calculate cost for \(x\) minutes over limit

The base cost is still $40. The cost for \(x\) extra minutes is \(7x\).
Total cost \(C_2=40+7x\)

Answer:

Total cost when over by 49 minutes: \(383\)
Total cost when over by \(x\) minutes: \(40 + 7x\)
