Question

For her phone service, Kaitlin pays a monthly fee of $10, and she pays an additional $0.07 per minute of use. The least she has been charged in a month is $105.27. What are the possible numbers of minutes she has used her phone in a month? Use m for the number of minutes, and solve your inequality for m.

Answer 1

The equation of this problem is:

0.07m + 10 ≥ 105.27

Subtract 10 from both sides:

0.07m ≥ 95.27

Divide 0.07 on both sides:

m ≥ 1,361

Therefore, the number of minutes that Kaitlyn acquires each month is greater than or equal to 1,361 minutes.

Hope this helps!!
