0.4 * x = 68
x = 68/0.4
x = 170
check:
0.4 * 170 = 68
Cost of month plan = $40
Cost of minutes used = $0.45 after 700 minutes
Total cost = $48.10
Let x be the total minutes used
Total cost = 40 + 0.45(x - 700)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Form the equation and solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------
40 + 0.45(x - 700) = 48.10
40 + 0.45x - 315 = 48.10
0.45x - 275 = 48.10
0.45x = 48.10 + 275
0.45x = 323.10
x = 323.10 ÷ 0.45
x = 718
