minutes, but then charges $2 per minute for every minute used over the included minutes. how
much would tanisha have to pay in a month if she used 23 minutes over the limit? how much
would tanisha have to pay in a month if she went over by x minutes?
answer attempt 1 out of 2
total cost when over by 23 minutes:
total cost when over by x minutes:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate cost for 23 over - minutes

The cost for over - minutes is \(2\times23\).

$$2\times23 = 46$$

Add the base cost of \(25\).

$$25+46$$

Step2: Calculate total cost

$$25 + 46=71$$

Step3: General formula for \(x\) over - minutes

The cost for \(x\) over - minutes is \(2x\). Add the base cost of \(25\). The formula is \(25 + 2x\).

Answer:

Total cost when over by 23 minutes: \(71\)
Total cost when over by \(x\) minutes: \(25 + 2x\)
