Jane's cell phone plan is $58 each month plus $0.20 per minute for each minute over 200 minutes of call time. Jane's cell phone
bill last month was $67.00. Write an equation that can be used to determine the number of minutes over 200 that Jane was billed. How many minutes over 200 was Jane billed last month?
So for every minute over 200 jane has to pay 0.20 cents per additional minute. The equation we can use is $58+0.20m=$67 where m is the amount of minutes after 200 jane has to pay 20 cents per
58+0.20m=67
0.20m=9
m=45
So Jane was billed for 45 minutes over 200 minutes last month. so in total 245 minutes and she was charged for the extra 45 minutes
