Answer 1

The correct answer would be j (18) because all you have to do is keep adding 0.17 and keep counting until you get to the 2.50 mark. I hope I helped you

Answer 2

Answer:

H

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the call is $2.50

Since the first three minutes cost $0.60

x minutes = $2.50 - $0.60

x minutes = $1.9

Each additional minutes cost $0.17

So: $1.9 / $0.17 = 11

To find the total minutes

$0.60 + $1.9 = $2.50

3 + 11 = total minutes

14 = total minutes
