Question

No receives a $5 discount each month on his cell phone bill because he signed up for autoplay from his bank account over the last eight months nor has pay a total of $284 for his cell phone bill what would Noah be charged for his cell phone bill each month if he stopped using autoplay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$36                        

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally Noah is expected to pay an amount without a discount.

let this amount be x

so the amount paid monthly after the discount is removed is (x-5)

Noah paid this amount for 8 months

(x-5)*8=248

solving for x we will get the amount that Noah is expected to be charged when he stopped using the autoplay

(x-5)*8=248

8x-40=248

8x=248+40

8x=288

divide both sides by 8 we have

x=288/8

x=$36
