\bf 8\frac{4}{9}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 9+4}{9}\implies \cfrac{76}{9}
\\\\\\
3\frac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \cfrac{17}{5}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{76}{9}-\cfrac{17}{5}\impliedby \textit{let's use an LCD of 45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 76-9\cdot 17}{45}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{380-153}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}\implies \boxed{5\frac{2}{45}}
\\\\\\
5\frac{2}{45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 45+2}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}

Eric's cell phone service costs $40.00 a month for unlimited calls. He also pays $0.02 for each text message he sends.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

A. 40.021

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlimited calls = $40

Text message = $0.021

NOTE:There is a difference between the value you gave for cost of text messages in the question and the values given in the group of answers. I will use $0.021 for cost of text messages since it is common to all answer choices.

Total cost = Cost of unlimited calls + cost of text messages

C = $40 + $0.021

= $40.021

Therefore, the equation which represent the total cost in dollars for a month is 40.021

A. 40.021
