Question

A company offers premium cable for 39.95 per month plus a one time setup fee. The total cost of 6 months of service is 264.70. Write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost for 2 years of service

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost = 983.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly charge = 39.95

One time set up fee = x

Number of months = y

Total cost = x + 39.95y

The total cost of 6 months of service is 264.70.

264.70 = x + 39.95(6)

264.70 = x + 239.7

264.70 - 239.7 = x

x = 25

Total cost = 25 + 39.95y

Write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost for 2 years of service

2 years = 24 months

Total cost = 25 + 39.95y

= 25 + 39.95(24)

= 25 + 958.8

= 983.8

Total cost = 983.8
