Question

A typical cell phone plan has a fixed base fee that includes a certain amount of data and an overage charge for data use beyond the plan. A cell phone plan charges a base fee of $62 and a charge of $12 per gigabyte of data. If g represents the total number of gigabytes of data, which inequality could be used to determine how many gigs of data Juliet can afford if she has $100 per month that she can spend?

Answer 1

Answer:

62 + 12g ≤ 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Base fee of the cell phone = $62

Charges for the data = $12 per gigabyte

If Juliet used 'g' gigabytes of the data is used in a month,

Charges for the data = $12g

Total charges for the month = Base fee + charges of the data used

                                                = $(62 + 12g)

Juliet can afford $100 per month then the inequality representing this situation will be,

62 + 12g ≤ 100
