Question

A phone company advertises a new plan in which the customer pays a fixed amount of $ 25 per month for unlimited calls in the country and $ 0.10 per minute for international calls . If a customer paid 120 dollars , how many international minutes did they use ?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer would be 950 international minutes. Only if assuming that this is in one month since the question doesn't give much detail.

Step-by-step explanation:

X would be used to represent the number of months.

25+0.10x=120

0.10x=95

950 international minutes used

Answer 2

Answer:

950

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation to model this scenario would be: y = 0.1x + 25

y would mean the amount of money paid depending on x, which is the number of minutes.

In this problem, we know the amount of money. So we know y is 120.

We can then put 120 into the equation to find x.

120 = 0.1x +25  

95 = 0.1x

x = 950

Therefore, x is 950.
