Question

Here are the monthly charges for Jo's mobile phone

Answer 1

Jo's Mobile Plan:
Fixed monthly charge = £16
Monthly 150 free minutes, post that 13p (or £0.13) per minute,
Monthly 150 free texts, post that 15p (or £0.15) per text
Jo's mobile phone usage details:
170 minutes of calls
182 texts
Total Charges for Jo = Fixed Monthly Charge + Charges for Calls + Charges for Texts
⇒ Total Charges for Jo = 16 + (170-150) × 0.13 + (182-150) × 0.15
⇒ Total Charges for Jo = 16 + (20) × 0.13 + (32) × 0.15
⇒ Total Charges for Jo = 16 + 2.6 + 4.8
⇒ Total Charges for Jo = 23.4
Hence, Jo should be charged £23.4 for the month.

Hope this helps !
