A cell phone company has a basic monthly plan of $40 plus $0.45 for any minutes used over 700. Before receiving his statement, J
ohn saw he was charged a total of $48.10. Write and solve an equation to determine how many minutes he must have used during the month. Show your work and explain your answer
Ok so we know he used over 700 because he was charged more than 40. Then we take the $8.10 and divide 0.45 into it. This then gives you 18 more minutes. Then add 18 to 700 and you get 718 min.
