Answer:
The call lasted 13 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are told to find the number of minutes a call lasted.
The initial amount on the card is $30 and after making a phone call just once, the balance went down to $28.83
What was used would be 30 - 28.83 = $1.17 or simply 117 cents
Now these long calls come at a cost of 9 cents per minute and we have a total of 117 cents here; the number of minutes is thus 117/9 = 13
This means Kala spent 13 minutes on the call
9+x / 3x = 5/6
If you look at it as a proportion, then you can "cross-multiply" it"
(9+x) · 6 = 3x · 5
54 + 6x = 15x
Subtract 6x from each side:
54 = 9x
Divide each side by 9 :
6 = x
4.5 divided by 1.25 equals 3.6 OR 3 and 3/5
