Answer: her call lasted for 26 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of minutes for which her call lasted.
Rachel purchased a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Converting 6 cents to dollars, it becomes 6/100 = $0.06
This means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is
0.06 × x = $0.06x.
If the remaining credit on her card is $28.44, it means that
0.06x + 28.44 = 30
0.06x = 30 - 28.44
0.06x = 1.56
x = 1.56/0.06
x = 26
4:1 means for every four soccer player there is 1 volleyball player
that means there are four times the number of soccer players than volleyball players
move the decimal point 2 places to the left
42.6 /
= 0.426
Answer: 11:12 PM.
explanation:
- 10% of 8 is 0.8. (10% is 0.1, and you multiply this by 8)
- multiply 0.8 by 60 so you can get the number of minutes before midnight (this is 48).
- 48 minutes before midnight is 11:12.
