Question

Recently, Walmart offered a wireless data contract based on bandwidth used, with a minimum monthly charge of $42 for up to 5 gigabytes (GB) of use. Additional GB can be purchased at the following rates: $12 for an additional 1 GB, $28 for an additional 3 GB, and $44 for a capacity of 10 GB. What is the cost for a user who is expecting to use 9 GB

Answer 1

Answer:

For 9GB of data the user would pay $82 monthly!

Explanation:

To start off, our end goal is 9GB. We have the equation 9 = ? We can add up to our solutions with 1GB, 3GB, and 10GB. We can immediately rule out 10GB, since 9GB ≠ 10GB. To cost the least amount of money we can add up             3GB and 1GB = 4GB + 5GB = 9GB!

So, our equation is 3GB + 1GB + 5GB = 9GB, now lets figure out the cost!

                                $28 + $12 + $42 = $82

For 9GB of data the user would pay $82 monthly!

Hope this Helps! :)
