The two variables that we should use are:
- x = number of minutes that the call lasted.
- y = cost of that call.
<h3>
What variables should we use?</h3>
Here we want to study a relation between the cost per call as the function of the minutes that the call lasted.
So, we need to use two variables, x will be the number of minutes that call lasted, this is the independent variable.
And the variable that depends on that should be the cost of the call, let's say, y is the cost of the call.
These are the two variables that we need to model the situation:
y = f(x)
There says:
<em>"The cost of the call is a </em><em>function </em><em>of the number of minutes that the call lasted".</em>

The answer to these two questions are not the same. We don't agree with Noah.
Reason:
Let's start with the first question.
1. Given: rate = 10% increase, base/original number = 550 bison
10% of 550 is:

10% of 550 is 55. Hence, there is an increase of 55 bison this year. This year, there are 550 + 55 = 605 bison in the herd.
2. Given: rate = 10% decrease, percentage/final number = 550 bison
Applying the concept of Percentage = Base x Rate, we can get the Base or the original number of bison before the decrease by dividing Percentage over Rate.

Filling in the formula with the given values in question 2, we have:

Last year, there were 611 bison.
As we can see, the answer for number 1 is 605 bison while the answer for the number 2 is 611 bison. The answer of the two questions are not the same.
17.46 as a mixed number is 17 23/50.
92.004 as a mixed number would be 92 1/250
