Answer 1

It would be f(x) = 20 + 0.06x

Answer 2

Answer:

Option 3rd is correct

$f(x) = 20 + 0.06x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in minutes and f(x) be the cell phone monthly bill.

Given the statement:

if there is a monthly charge of 20 dollars plus 6 cents for each minute of use

Use conversion:

1 cent = 0.01 dollars

6 cents = 0.06 dollars

"$\text{0.06 dollars for each minute of use}$ means 0.06 x

then;

the function represents a cell phone monthly bill is given as:

$f(x) = 20 + 0.06x$
