<h3>
The monthly cost of cell phone is A = 40 + 0.005 m</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
The monthly fixed charges by mobile company = $40
The cost of sending each text message = 0.05 cents
Now, 100 cents = 1 dollar
⇒ 1 cent =$ 
⇒ 0.05 cent s =$ 
Also, the number of text messages send = m
So, the cost of sending m text message = m x ( cost of 1 text )
= m x ( $ 0.0005) = 0.0005 m
Now, Total bill = Fixed rate + cost of m texts
⇒ A =$40 + $ 0.0005 m
Hence, the monthly cost of cell phone is A = 40 + 0.005 m
Solve using the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
REMEMBER: IF NOT APPLICABLE TO THE EQUATION YOU MAY SKIP THAT STEP IN PEMDAS .
3(8 - 2) + 4 = 22
Parentheses...
(15 - 6)² ÷ 3 - 3³
15 - 6 = 9
(9)² ÷ 3 - 3³
Exponent....
9² ÷ 3 - 3³
In this case you have two exponents. Always apply the steps from left to right
9² ÷ 3 - 3³
9² = 81
81 ÷ 3 - 3³
3³ = 27
81 ÷ 3 - 27
Division...
81 ÷ 3 - 27
81 ÷ 3 = 27
27 - 27
Subtraction...
27 - 27 = 0
0
<u>Your mistake: </u>
You subtracted 3 - 27 before dividing 81 by 3. Remember that according to the rules of PEMDAS division must come before subtraction
